I'm thinking of buying a BAFO Tech BF-100C Direct-LinQ USB File Transfer cable for $18 to transfer some files from my old computer to my new computer. Has anyone used one of these? Do they work as advertised?
If both computers have an ethernet port, use a crossover cable. Otherwise go ahead and use the USB cable (I never used a USB trasfer cable but back in the day I used a serial transfer cable). The only issue is speed, but like someone said above, for a one time deal you can put up with it.
