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

@SH_NostalgiaB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish • 7 months 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

Connect both computers over ethernet and rsync the data across. It will still take several hours over gigabit ethernet though.
