Laptop is something that is used by everyone and using it has been increased very rapidly. Due to its portability and compactness, it has been always a first choice for offices and personal use. Nowadays, common laptop are having 500 GB or 1 TB storage space. Usually we use pen-drive to transfer data from from one device to another. Even we can boost pen-drive transfer speed with little hacks but the main limitation is storage.
So to transfer data from one PC to other at more speed we can use a crossover LAN cable with RJ-45 connector to connect two laptops. It can transfer data with more than 200 MB per second. Even we recommend to use cloud storage services so we can easily access common data from any device. But still connecting two laptops using LAN is the best and easy solution to transfer the data.
Lets see how this works:
Pre-requisite:
