super slow ftp transfer speeds black ftp

[bigcstyle]

I am currently running kweams 3.55 cfm with latest gaia manager which is working great for all of my back ups. However, I am having trouble with slow ftp speeds to my harddrive from the laptop to ps3. I am using black box ftp on the ps3 and I am using smart ftp on the laptop. I recently changed the internal harddrive in the ps3 to a wd scorpion blue 500gb but I am not sure if this is what is contributing to the slow speeds. I am doing all of this on my wireless n network with my lynksys router. If anyone could offer some advice it would be much appreciated. Is there a wire I could purchase to attach to my laptop ethernet port to the ps3 ethernet port and transfer that way? I appologize for the mispellings I am typing this on my phone, I am educated lol. Thanks in advance.

That's your problem. Use a cable.

It's the scorpio drive.

If I remember right, they're simply not properly compatible with the PS3, and cause all sorts of problems.

Which cable would you reccomend and how would I hook it up directly to the ps3 and laptop without hooking anything into the router? Also I have read scorpion drives having some issues but I haven't had any problems with any of the games. Thanks for your input btw.

Could be a crossover or normal ethernet cable. I think is called cat5 and cat6.
Try to conect like this (works for me using normal cable):

I'm running a 750GB Scorpio Blue in mine without issue. The 1TB model isn't compatible with the PS3 because it won't fit in the bay physically. (You can only fit a 9.5mm drive in the PS3, 1TB 9.5mm drives are just hitting the market now.)

Definitely use ethernet rather than wireless for FTP. If your computer has a gigabit NIC, you'll want to use a Cat5e or Cat6 cable, regular Cat5 can cause issues at gigabit speeds.

Why are you making rediculous comments like that if you can't back it up? I have been using a Scorpio 500gb for months and not once did I have a problem. I read the reviews for the drive on the site that I bought it from and 75% of the people who purchased one, are using it in their PS3 and have had zero problems.

Well, the one I'm using is not on that list so you should say that "some" Scorpio's don't work.

I never stated that all scorpio drives don't work. I said the problem with his configuration was the scorpio drive.
