Is there a way to pc to pc transfer not using a usb drive or WIFI just pc to pc fast

[WolfLoverPro]

dont wanna use wifi thats for sure its way too slow for 40gb

so is there a way to pc to pc somehow

How about a Crossover Lan cable? So you can see one PC.

Won’t the lan mean using my internet what’s slow

No, and neither would using you WiFi (assuming the receiving PC is on the same internal network).

Using a crossover cable will effectively limit you to the read/write speed of the slowest drive, while using WiFi would probably limit you to the effective speed of your PCs network wireless interface.

just plug each end into the ethernet port or?

As far as I can tell that's not a crossover cable. Using just any ethernet cable won't work.

 

What kind of equipment do you have at your disposal?

The quickest might just be to connect the two computers via a switch or hub.

my method is connecting both to the same router and using the Dukto R6 software, with no weird cables or having to buy adapters or extra stuff, just that

what I do is open Dukto on both computers and then use the "send files/folders" option to send the stuff, my LAN is 100mbps so it transfers real fast no matter if PC 1 is using windows and PC 2 is using linux or whatever, I think it works way better than creating a home group and sharing folders or drives, you can get it from here http://www.msec.it/blog/?page_id=11

This is actually false.  Crossover cables are not required on most network gear produced in the last 20 years.  Modern Ethernet adapters can detect when making a direct connection and actually switch which pins in the adapter are doing what.  This allows the use of a straight cable in a situation that would normally require a crossover cable.  No extra effort is needed on the user to enable this behavior it 'just works'.  Hook two PCs directly with a straight cable, configure the IPs manually, and one of the adapters will 'crossover' itself to make use of the straight cable.

 

This also works in reverse, you can use a crossover cable as a straight cable without issues.  I actually have a few 25 foot crossover cables in my apartment that I use in place of straight cables only because they were the only 25 foot cables I had and being crossover or straight has been irrelevant for nearly 20 years.

Not necessarily.

I have plenty of modern equipment that doesn't have auto sensing.

Do you have a budget you can buy 2 asus 10gb cards @ $100 a piece and create a peer to peer connection but drives will be the bottle neck, I have 2 pc's and my NAS hooked up with 10gb and if I go from nvme to nvme its blistering fast

Just as a reference, most modern operating systems offer APIPA which will auto assign IP addresses, therefore most of the time you will be able to get away with just looking up the current IP and navigating to it. The IPs will always start with 169.254.xxx.yyy.
