Want to transfer large files at 125MB/s, more than doubling the average USB and wireless connection speed, and with no risk of the transfer being interrupted? There are multiple options for transferring files between PCs or Laptops, and your first instinct may be to turn to your USB memory stick or wireless network. But if you need to transfer files quickly and efficiently, and the ‘two machines are in the same vicinity, by far the fastest method is the trusty old Ethemet cable. Ethernet cables (or LAN cables) are primarily used for wiring up local networks and connecting PCs to routers for wired intemet access. This makes them ideal for file transfers. A standard CatSe cable is able to transfer data at a speed of 1,000 Megabits per second, which converts to 125 megabytes per second. That’s over 1GB in 10 seconds, so even the largest movie files or library of mp3s ean be transferred within just a minute! This is at least twice that of the best USB 2.0 speeds (60 megabytes per second), and the average wireless connection speed (54 megabytes per second). Here’s how to set up your Ethemet cable for super fast file sharing: ‘Step 1: Link the two PCs with the Ethernet Cable htps:wwrtexochiblog/2016/04Mhow-to-tne-fastestway-to-rans fles-frompe-o-pel 20 e0re017 » How to: The Fastest Way to Transfer Files From PC to PC.

To get started slot one end of the cable in to the first computer and then slot the other end in to the second computer. Each end of the cable and each port are identical.

This allows you to share lots of large files (such as Backups) with no interruption or lost data. So, that’s that fastest way to transfer files from PC to PC.
