Transfer Files from One Windows Computer To Another Using USB Cables

There are probably a million different ways to transfer data from one home PC to another that are not connected via some network.

You can either burn the data from the source computer onto a CD / DVD or copy it to a USB drive or an external hard disk and then transfer it to the destination computer.

But there's another very simple option for transferring data between computers using the USB data cable - the cables are pretty cheap, work even with old computers and you can transfer any amount of data in one go unlike CDs or Thumb Drives where you are limited to the capacity of the drive itself.

Another advantage - USB to USB transfer is a faster solution since you eliminate that extra step of writing data to a temporary storage [CD or USB Drive] before moving it to the final destination.

While any USB to USB data cable available on eBay would do the job, you may want to invest in the Easy transfer cables that can transfer data from Windows XP-based computer to the PC running Windows Vista using Windows Easy Transfer program.

Belkin is one such vendor of Easy transfer USB cables that claim to transfer upto 30GB of data in 1 hour. [Picture Credit: Yahoo! Photos]
