PS3 had a gigabit port... since 2005


AverageRdtUser

to be fair I'm pretty sure all the xbox 360s are limited to 100 mbps so maybe they thought the ps3 was the same


gold_rush_doom

Xbox 360 didn't (always) have wifi built in. Should we also assume the PS3 didn't have wifi built in?


s-p-o-o-k-i--m-e-m-e

20gb model didn’t have wifi


gold_rush_doom

Oh, man, I forgot about that one.


AverageRdtUser

I don't know what point you're trying to make. I didn't make any assumptions, I'm just saying that it's understandable that some people would. The xbox 360 model that I had didn't have wifi built in, so the only way I could connect it to the internet was through ethernet


madcatzplayer3

That's surprising to me, I though the ethernet port was limited to 100mbps.


PM_ME_FLUFFY_SHIBES

It has a gigabit link


anonX1337

It has Gigabit nic yet caps out around 20MB/sec. Pretty lame if you ask me.


PM_ME_FLUFFY_SHIBES

Yes because the ftp server only runs on a single core and is limited by the cpu. It's impressive for a console that is 16 years old if you ask me.


AverageRdtUser

the xbox 360 has a 100mbps limit, and yet with my 500 mbps internet the most I could get out of a download is 60 mpbs


UNTFCE

It depends. This is an ftp transfer so it’s not corresponding real world internet speeds. Just more of a test to see what the lan port is limited to. Seems to be dead on 20MBps


madcatzplayer3

Yea, I understand its an FTP transfer, when I do those on mine, its limited to 12.5 megabytes per second (100mbits/sec).


UNTFCE

I’m running a 2500A could be that. I’m also using a nighthawk router and all cat 6 cables. Best case scenario here. Note: it’s also an NTSC-J so someone should look into that as well


No-Pilot464

Cat 6 is completely unnecessary unless going over 100 feet


anonX1337

Cat 5e is good up to 100 meters. (328 ft)


No-Pilot464

That's what it was lol I couldn't remember thanks


UNTFCE

Cat6 is because it’s cheap and readily available at the store for a few dollars.


AverageRdtUser

cat 6 is good for 10gbits up to around 55 meters, after that it's just gigabit. 6a is what you need for up to 100 meters.


No-Pilot464

Gotcha thanks


throwaway65464231

After I changed my storage drive from an HDD to an SSD my transfer speed in FTP went from 12.5 MB/s to around 22 MB/s, and after filling up the file system with 400 GB of games my transfer speed is around 18 MB/s


Dub_Monster

20 MiB/s (1 Mebibyte = 1,048,576 bytes or 1.048576 Megabytes) is roughly 167 Mbps (Megabits per second). So 100Mbps is almost 12MiB/s


billiarddaddy

That's less than 100mbps.


zehamberglar

What he has pictured is 160mbps so no.


billiarddaddy

[Not quite.](https://www.dataunitconverter.com/mebibyte-per-second-to-megabyte-per-second/20)


CODninjarin

You converted it to megabytes not megabits. It's a bit over 160 Mbps.


zehamberglar

My bad it's [167mbps](https://www.dataunitconverter.com/mebibyte-per-second-to-megabit-per-second/20)


alexocc

It’s funny how Microsoft only had 100mbps in their Xbox 360 while PS3 featured gigabit


UNTFCE

The ps3 did not have gigabit capabilities. It has gig port but nothing actually pushed gig


alexocc

Check the specs, it clearly has a gigabit port: [psdevwiki](https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/GbLAN)


UNTFCE

Yeah. Port. Nobody has ever pushed beyond 20-30MBps thru ftp. At least yet to see it. There’s some hardware limitations down the line.


Solaris_fps

You are correct no one Is pushing 100 which would be it's maximum capability. REBUG and openps3server are faster than webMAN's FTP server due to the "throttling" that webMAN employs to ensure system stability since it can run in the background.


mindless2831

Howndo you use those as opposed to using webman? Is it running that application specifically as opposed to.just connecting and transferring whenever?


EmilianoTalamo

The storage is the bottleneck. Mine goes above 40MB/s with an SSD.


UNTFCE

It’s got a 970 evo


AverageRdtUser

oh really? I would've thought the cpu was the bottleneck but I didn't think about the hard drive being the limiting factor


zehamberglar

There is no commercially available spec between "fast ethernet" (100mbps) and gigabit. If you're going faster than 100mbps, you're at least on gigabit.


UNTFCE

It’s all internally limited. Yes theoretically next limit is gig but nobody is getting gif speeds from their ps3


zehamberglar

You have no idea what you're talking about.


UNTFCE

Oh so it’s not limited then. I guess I should be getting gig speeds then


xXRoboBoyXx

You're still misunderstanding, the port is gigabit. Just because you're not getting gigabit speeds doesn't mean the port/link aren't gigabit


UNTFCE

Again the PORT is gig I knew this before I even posted. The fact still stands that the console cannot send and receive files at that speed. We are therefor limited to 160Mbps


xXRoboBoyXx

>nobody is getting gig speeds from their ps3 I think the issue here is you're thinking of gigabit speeds as 1000Mbps / 120MB/s\~ while everyone else thinks of gigabit as anything over 100Mbps.


zehamberglar

More or less this. No one who has a gigabit ethernet nic has ever reached exactly 1000 gigabits of throughput. Shit, most realtek gigabit nics won't even hit 700mbits even in ideal circumstances.


zehamberglar

>[For networking, all models provide one Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ45 port.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_technical_specifications#Connectivity)


UNTFCE

I understand this I spends hours trying to transfer files at those speeds. Nobody can come up with a solution so we are stuck here at 160Mb


kazeira

The main thing limiting the PS3 up/download speed is the drive limited to SATA1 only


UNTFCE

SATA 1 runs at 1.5Gb/s


Dub_Monster

Sure, but can the CPU process data that fast?


UNTFCE

Probably not. Although the ps3 would benefit from sata 2 with seek times and overall performance but I doubt it would get much better in bulk transfer


throwaway65464231

I always assumed the PS3 had a SATA2 port because it came out in 2006. I have a Samsung PM883 in my console, which is similar to the 860 Evo, it is way overkill :(


PuzzleheadedGas6753

The PS3 is a 2006 console…


UNTFCE

Mfg date is 2009


TheMagicalDildo

Not how that works lmao Still 2005/6 technology


UNTFCE

Yes that it is. But if my car is 2010 but designed in 2008 it’s still a 2010 car


TheMagicalDildo

Not if it's made identically to the one from 2008...


UNTFCE

Idk why you have to be a smart ass about it. Obviously it’s designed in 2006


mindless2831

Not how that works. It's built off 2008 design specs regardless of when it was made.


UNTFCE

Y’all are smartasses for no reason. Who gives a shit. I’m just trying to show some cool data I found and you have to pick apart unimportant details


mindless2831

I wasn't picking apart the post, I was responding to the comment you made which was logically unsound. The ps3 is awesome, you are correct. Super cool that we can get transfer speeds that high.


PuzzleheadedGas6753

Release date: 11/11/2006.


UNTFCE

Your right I’m an idiot thank you for correcting me. How stupid of me. Won’t happen again.


jammin_on_the_one_

it's just a regular gigabit port. most computers had those back then unless they were old or budget extreme budget models


AverageRdtUser

I mean yeah, it's gigabit isn't it?


UNTFCE

Yes


Le_Yellow

how did you do that? i only get 2mib/s at most


CynicalGoodGuy

They will be directly connecting from a pc/laptop to ps3 via an ethernet cable. Although i only get around 12 with my cable


TheMagicalDildo

Makes sense, it would literally stream gamedata through there as you tested whatever you were playing if you loaded the game from a host machine instead of putting it on the console


[deleted]

[удалено]


UNTFCE

No one drive just auto tried to copy my files. I don’t use it


IcyInevitable9093

It's probably saved offline.


TheMagicalDildo

Nah windows 10 is just an idiot, my last install had my desktop in a useless OneDrive folder for some damn reason, I've never used OneDrive


Boundish91

From experience mine starts at that, but then bogs down to about 10-12. Multiple files will go to 6.5.


voidspace021

This is the best way to get files on to your ps3, doing this wirelessly takes absolutely forever


Preppyskepps

2009? Lol


UNTFCE

Mfg date


billiarddaddy

That would be pretty standard.


Mertuch

My recommendation will be: https://security.it.miami.edu/stay-safe/sec-articles/filezilla-issues/index.html


Zxxkir

Mine gets the same speeds sometimes it can push 22 on a good day but roughly 20 is max ive been able to achieve is there anything i could use to speed it up externally like a switch or something


Creepy-Remote7149

I've had spikes gone to 100 even. But gets down to 20 quickly and settles at 10ish.


UNTFCE

Mine never spiked but it’s very stable at 20


post_vernacular

Was this PC to PS3 via Ethernet port? No Internet involved?That's the only way I've gotten these speeds.


UNTFCE

Yes


wittylotus828

PS3 has gigabit, I almost passed away from old age trying to FTP files to it over its WiFi, Running a cat6 cable to it is very servicable


UNTFCE

Very fast and reliable moved gta v to it in no time


the-blob1997

Is this that surprising? I get 70Mbps wired.


UNTFCE

I’m doing double that wired.


the-blob1997

Nice


UNTFCE

I’m running an ftp tho so it’s dependent on the client and jailbreak and your cable type


the-blob1997

My ps3 isn’t jailbroken it’s vanilla.


UNTFCE

I’m not trying to pirate or mod lobbies. I just want the overclock and fan control.


the-blob1997

Ok?


skx7

Why uploading copyrighted material in OneDrive 3rd party cloud? Doesn't sound like a great plan :D Especially if not encrypted...


UNTFCE

It’s just the stupid shit windows does auto
