I’ve replaced my old laptop with a new one and I have over 350GB worth of data to move over, moving all of it to an external drive and then moving them to the new laptop doesn’t seem efficient and it seems like it’s gonna take forever

I know there are some special cables that can do that but I don’t wanna waste money on something that I’m only gonna use once every 5 years at most.

    If you’re on the same network I would just use Filezilla ftp client. Download it on both devices and you can transfer whatever between them.

    Are you planning on keeping the old laptop? If it’s not a proprietary drive type you could probably just take it out and pop it into your new computer. Most newer laptops can support two
    SSD. If they’re both M.2 drives you wouldn’t even need a new cable, just a screwdriver.
