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 speed is your concern, you may also want to try network cable or wifi. You can share, access, and copy files over the network.

    For USB, if you can use a USB 3 Port specifically it’ll be faster than USB 2 ports.

    I’m not familiar with direct us pc connections. When you connect the two via USB, the OS may ask you what kind of connection it is. One will have to serve as the host or controller, and the other as a device like a storage device.
