Default PC to Laptop cable
Hey Everyone,

I'm wondering if there are easy-transfer cables that use the usb 3.0 interface so I could transfer files from my pc to a laptop if I buy a new one. IIRC there were usb 2.0 ones, but I haven't had much luck finding any 3.0. Any links/answers would be greatly appreciated.

Your better off using a cross over cable.

If you are transfering ALOT of files at once, you can just take out your laptop hard drive and hook it to your PC and just transfer that way.
Or if you are transfering small files, you can just transfer it over your network. Its quite fast if you have a gigabit lan connection.

Or two straights through a router if he doesn't have a crossover.
