In the past, I have used a USB to transfer a few video files from one computer to another. This time I have over 1 terabyte of movies and shows I’d like to transfer. What is the best method?

I know it will take a very long time

    Over a network.

    Not WiFi though!

    You could hook a single network cable between them. Give each machine an IP address, share the folder that you are copying to or copying from (your choice) and drag the files over. Or you could use RoboCopy to potentially do it faster.

    Or just get a 2tb usb external drive and use that, it could be slower or perhaps faster than the network option depending on many factors but also more expensive as you have to buy the drive!
