transfer speed, not the wifi transfer speed.

Postby schubba on Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:39 am

so I have searched and not found on here what I'm looking for. does anybody know what the transfer speed of the card is?
EX. san disk ultra is 15MB/second and the sandisk extreme is 30MB/second. I assume the normal SD card is like 7MB/sec or something like that.

I ask because the faster the card, the better continuous shooting mode works or for photographers who spray and pray.

I don't know the exact speed of the Eye-Fi card, but as a Class 6 SDHC card it must be at least 6MB/s

Got some info. Will post here.

Bought REFURBISHED (don't know what was REF-D)
EYE-FI EYE FI CONNECT X2 4GB
Formated as Fat32,Allocation unit Size: Default Allocation Size. Full Format.
Using DELL Latitiude e6410 Card Reader (Not USB Reader). Aprox same write speed i got from USB Reader. 3.39 - 3.26.

Then tested with H2testw

Code: Select all
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 3.16 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.3 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4


Seems not CLASS 6 - 6MB/s speed that stated in specifications.

Found those links as well:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1325&p=5649&hilit=class+6+speed#p5649

Was to use this card with GoPro Hero 720x60F o higher res but i suppose that i will need to sell this card. :(
Good for TimeLapse though.

The GoPro HD HERO is NOT compatible with Eye-Fi X2 Cards.

Wireless networking can be kind of scary from a security standpoint. It opens up whole new attack vectors that were not present with wired network infrastructures. That doesn’t mean you can’t do it securely, however, and I aim to give you some ideas that can help you in that regard.

Many of these tips are likely to be inapplicable to a lot of people. For instance, if you’re running a wireless network that has to allow connections from a changing lineup of computers so that the specific computers on the network will not be constant, the point about restricting access by MAC address is unlikely to do much good. As always, you must exercise some common sense when reading through a list of security tips like this. You have to determine what options apply to you, and whether the fact that your plans make a given suggestion unusable means your plans are wrong or the suggestion simply is not relevant in your case.

Use a strong password. As I pointed out in the article A little more about passwords, a sufficiently strong password (on a system with decent password protection) makes the likelihood of cracking the password through brute force attacks effectively impossible. Using a sufficiently weak password, on the other hand, almost guarantees that your system will be compromised at some point.
Don’t broadcast your SSID. Serious security crackers who know what they are doing will not be deterred by a hidden SSID — the “name” you give your wireless network. Configuring your wireless router so it doesn’t broadcast your SSID does not provide “real” security, but it does help play the “low hanging fruit” game pretty well. A lot of lower-tier security crackers and mobile malicious code like botnet worms will scan for easily discovered information about networks and computers, and attack those that have characteristics that make them appear easy to compromise. One of those is a broadcast SSID, and you can cut down on the amount of traffic your network gets from people trying to exploit vulnerabilities on random networks by hiding your SSID. Most commercial grade router/firewall devices provide a setting for this.
Use good wireless encryption. WEP is not exactly “good” encryption. With a freely available tool like aircrack, you can sniff wireless traffic protected by WEP and crack security on that network in a matter of minutes. WPA is the current, common encryption standard you should probably be using — though, of course, you should use something stronger as soon as it becomes available to you. Technology is advancing every day, on both sides of the encryption arms race, after all.
Use another layer of encryption when possible. Don’t just rely on wireless encryption to provide all your security on wireless networks. Other forms of encryption can improve the security of the systems on the network, even if someone happens to gain access to the network itself. For instance, OpenSSH is an excellent choice for providing secure communications between computers on the same network, as well as across the Internet. Using encryption to protect your wireless network does not protect any communications that leave the network, so encryption schemes like SSL for dealing with e-commerce Websites is still of critical importance. The fact you’re using one type of encryption in no way suggests you should not be using other types of encryption as well.
Restrict access by MAC address. Many will tell you that MAC address restriction doesn’t provide real protection but, like hiding your wireless network’s SSID, restricting the MAC addresses allowed to connect to the network helps ensure you are not one of the “low hanging fruits” that people prefer to attack. It is best to be effectively invulnerable to the expert security cracker, but there’s nothing wrong with being less palatable to the amateur as well.
