How do you transfer more than 1 terabyte from PC to PC?

SH_Nostalgia@alien.topB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

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

Parallel port would be faster than serial, but if you’re using serial I’d go with Z modem for the compression and error correction.
