The only potential kink that I'm wondering about, is that the old PC has Windows 10 and the new PC has Windows 8.1. It could be plugged into the old PC, the drive could be mirrored ( Last time I did that win Acronis, mirroring the whole drive took less than a half hour, if I recall ), then it could be plugged into the new PC's USB 3 port and data could be transferred. So I'm thinking it might be faster to move all this data by getting a ST0005U-D updated version of the docking station for the new PC. The new PC doesn't appear to have an ESATA port but does have USB 3 ports. It's plugged into the ESATA port in the old PC and only has USB 2 in addition to that.

So the Ethernet connection may just be too slow.īut on the old PC, I have a Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U drive docking station. Some of that is programs but much of it is data that needs to be moved to the new PC now. I checked my old PC's drive and I have 239GB of space used. Plug&Play installation No software needed and ready to work in seconds Patented HDD ejection mechanism LED activity indicator USB 3.0 Super Speed data. I just got an Ethernet connection between these two PC's working, to transfer data from the older Windows 10 PC to the newer Windows 8.1 PC but I may not have thought this out very well.
