As soon as I click "Enable FTP" in "Cobra Tools" with an USB device attached to the PS3, the latter freezes (I tested this in another PS3 Slim and a friend of mine also did it in his PS3 Slim and we're having this problem too).

Have you tried plugging the drive in after enabling FTP? Not sure why this is happening or if this could help but it's something maybe worth trying.

It doesn't freeze/beep thrice and restart that way (unless often after transferring files to the PS3 when returning to XMB).

EDIT: I found out the PS3 also freezes after clicking "Enable FTP" in "Cobra Tools" and clicking "Disable FTP" in "Cobra Tools" afterwards with no USB devices attached.

EDIT 2: The PS3 also often freezes/beeps thrice and restarts after transferring a file from the PC to the PS3 with FileZilla and returning to XMB from IRISMAN.

1TB shouldn't cause any problem, problem start to arise when using larger than 1TB drive, might have to do with 4.89.3 Evilnat

But it looks like I'm the only one with this issue and IRISMAN already froze with this HDD on a previous Evilnat version.

Also, I thought 1.5 TB HDDs were fine.

Just make a backup and replace the harddrive like you would normally. You won't lose CFW. :wacko:

Installing a new hard drive on CFW is the same as installing a new hard drive on OFW. Turn off your console, remove the hard drive, and insert your new one. If it is a NOR console, your PS3 will prompt you to reinstall the firmware from USB at which point you will follow the normal CFW installation instructions to complete it, ensuring that you install the same CFW that you were on before swapping the hard drives.

But I bought this HDD to use it and restoring files would take a lot of time.

Anyway, if I don't need to hack it again after swapping the HDD, I might as well buy a 1.5 TB HDD this time.
