Can you connect 2 computers together to transfer data?

I don't think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_cable_connection#DCC_with_USB

Yes, you can, but it depends on the operating systems of the two computers. Here's an article on the subject.http://www.ehow.com/how_6353102_transfer-pc-using-usb-cable.html

Yes, that's pretty much the purpose of this cable. I highly recommend this too, and since it's the USB 3.0 specification your data transfer will be 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 spec. However, you only get the benefit if both computers have a USB 3.0 port. Although it will work with any USB specification 2 and above.

Unfortunately i needed this cable for a different application, however theoretically this can be used to transfer between computers.

The two Thunderbolt connections are for daisy chaining with other Thunderbolt devices. You can share the drive on the network but you would not be able to connect two computers to this drive at the same time.

Yes, if they are networked together you can file share, or with the proper software, you can transfer the entire image of the source disk to a new computer.

Yes. It's one way of transferring data from a PC. You can also transfer data via the included mini usb cable.

save to an external memory and then transfer to the new computer. it is that simple.

You can't daisy chain these drives since they only have one usb port. Both must be connected to your computer at the same time in order to transfer data from one another

You would need a laptop or other device in conjunction. Transfer speeds are very fast.

None. You can buy an external USB drive or share a drive from another computer. We use our portable for that purpose.

Yes you can. Just go to your amazon account, software downloads, and place it on the new computer.

I'm sure you can do it yourself on your home pc, but the easiest way is to take it into a boost stoe and have them transfer the data.

This device allows you to connect that old drive to your new PC just like connecting an external hard drive. This device provides power to the drive and has an adapter ago you can connect it via USB. Step 1. Power up your new PC. Step 2. Connect power supply and USB adapter to old drive. Step 3. Place old drive on flat surface, don't move it around. Step 4. Connect USB adapter to your new PC. Step 5. Access your old drive and copy/paste data off of it. Step 6. There is no step 6. Throw your old drive away, I guess.

I was just able to partition a drive and load it on both computers. I've been useing a lot of answers from the internet for loading and moveing stuff around.

You need a USB slot to do a copy of your operating system. If not, take the hard drive out and use a desktop to transfer the data from the old lap top to the new.

to transfer data between 2 computers, laptops... you MUST use a usb with a bridge. Its called a usb networking cable. If you use a double ended (male only) usb transfer cable, you will FRY your usb ports and possibly the computers as well. An example of the networking cable you need to transfer looks like this: Belkin Easy Transfer Cable for Windows 8 /Windows 7/XP/Vista.

Hi Rodney. I've been using PC Mover for several years... It's a great product. The answer to your question is a little tricky. IF you can connect BOTH computers to the same network (e.g. in your home or office), either by wire OR by wireless (or even a combination), then PC Mover can do the entire transfer over the network. It's pretty easy. When you load the software, it'll ask how you want to do the transfer. Select "Network". Load the software on both computers (I think they want you to load the "new" computer first, but the instructions will talk you through that) and follow the rest of the instructions. If you can't get both of the computers on the same network, then you'll need a USB transfer cable OR you'll have to connect both "hard drives" to the same computer (I'm a technician, so that's easy for me to do... Most people wouldn't go that route). I hope that helps. If you need more assistance, feel free to write.

You need to plug them both in to your computer. Then use either explorer or finder to transfer the data. I recommend you copy the files and then paste them to the other hard drive. once they have been copied delete the originals.

Not that I am aware of. I just use it to transfer files as needed then disconnect it.
