What's ProDG Target Manager and is it faster transferring files to the PS3?

Is it faster than IRISMAN?

btw, I'm wireless most of the time unless I want to get out this 25ft ethernet cable, but that's only when I need to transfer big files. anyway, wirelessly, I get 1.8-2MBs/s while my series x is like 14-18MBs/s, and that's wireless. I'd imagine I'd get like 100MBs wired, if I had a gigabit connection. however, in this case, I'm bottlenecked by my laptop. I'm pretty sure you have a gigabit connection.

I do but, after all, can the laptop bottleneck uploads? I thought it would be the console's fault. I also have a laptop.

that's what I use openps3ftp as it seems to make a connection faster, but the speed is about the same as everything else.

Then why does it seem to make the connection faster if the speed is about the same?

Wired, you can get about 20 MB/s. With an older OS, you can get 32 MB/s. Never tried wireless.

When you mean older OS, you mean older PS3 FW? Well, but I get under 20 MiB/s.

only if you have a gigabit connection. ;) if he's confusing megabytes and bits, he should be getting the right speed as I think he has a gigabit connection based on his speeds in another thread. I get 10MBs/s because I have a 10/100 MiB connection. I've never had a gigabit connection with any pc.

I don't know why the connection is faster than wmm, but the speed at transferring files is the same. it can be bottlenecked by the laptop, yes. I don't have a gigabit connection, so I get 10MBs/s.

btw, now I don't even have an ethernet port on my pc. it uses something called a virtual ethernet port, which I don't know how that works.

it says wsl, so it may be for linux connection, since that's counted as a networked device.

You mean, by the laptop's OS, HDD/SSD/eMMC/SSHD or RAM?

I think that was created by Hyper-V, which enables Virtual Machines creation on Windows.

no, the lan controller is the problem. or rather, was the problem with an older laptop. the one I have now doesn't even have an ethernet port. doesn't have an optical drive either. however, it suits me for what it does.

I thought modern laptops came with ethernet ports. What about an USB ethernet adapter?

Also, I don't know if it makes a difference but I set 1000Base-T Full-Duplex and CloudFare's DNS on the PS3 and my laptop also has CloudFare's DNS but I didn't set its ethernet controller to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex on Device Manager.

it wouldn't matter anyway as the only system I'd need it for is the ps3, and I hate the ps3 scene with a passion. not sure why I even reply to ps3 help questions. pos scene that deserves to die.

Do PS1 and PS2 CD discs wear the PS3's laser faster than PS2 DVD discs just like (according to what I was told) the PS2?

cds and dvds can, yes. sony put shitty optical drives in the ps1, ps2, ps3, possibly ps4 and 5 as well. there was a class action lawsuit about the ps2 for that reason. it probably won't affect ps3 games though as they use a different laser, a blue one, hence the name. cd and dvd use red, with I think is how close or far away the laser is at.

But do PS1 and PS2 CDs (and maybe non-PS1 and PS2 CDs too) wear the laser faster than PS2 DVDs?

I don't want to help further. I hate the ps3 scene. it's why I won't help with the switch or eventually the ps5. I won't quit, I just won't become part of the scene, ergo, can't help due to lack of knowledge. I don't help with things I have no experience with, which is why you don't see me helping with the switch, unless it's something that can be done on official firmware.

I think it's likely that cds won't affect the ps2 dvds. they're all separate.

So, if the PS3 has 2 lasers, one for CDs and DVDs and another for BRs, what about the PS2, does it only have 1 laser, for CDs and DVDs? When my previous PS3 stopped reading BR DLs, it still read BR SLSs for some time (and I think it still read DVDs even after stopping reading BRs at all), why is that?

Do PS1 and PS2 CDs wear the PS2's and PS3's PS1/PS2 lasers faster than PS2 discs wear the PS2's and PS3's PS1/PS2 lasers and the PS3 BRs wear the PS3's BR laser?
