USB3-TRAN

Great product! Easy to use, super fast data transfer. No problems whatsoever.

This cable worked great! I am not tech savvy, but I had no problem at all following the easy directions. It took about 5 minutes to download the software, hook the 2 computers together, and hit run... It ran for about 45 minutes and the job was complete. The great thing is, I can use it again if I buy another computer. I hope in the future the software programs will transfer as well, but all pictures, songs, folders transferred quickly and easily.

Fast transfer, easy to use

Worked decent, but can use for only 30 days

We recently purchased a new laptop and needed an easy way to transfer all of our files and data from the old one. After researching different transfer options, I decided on the Plugable Data Transfer Cable—and I’m so glad I did. I ordered it on Amazon and it arrived the very next morning. Installation was simple. I followed the easy instructions to download the software on both laptops, then connected them using the cable. The cable includes both USB-A and USB-C ends, which made it fully compatible with both devices—no adapters needed, so it fit perfect! Once connected, the software opened a clear, user-friendly window where I could select exactly which files, photos, and data I wanted to transfer. It even gave me the option to set up the new laptop just like my old one, which I selected. The entire process took about 20 minutes, and when it finished, my new laptop looked and functioned just like the old one—everything transferred perfectly. The cable itself feels sturdy, well-made, and high quality. Overall, this was an incredibly smooth, fast, and stress-free experience. I highly recommend the Plugable Data Transfer Cable to anyone needing a reliable and easy way to move data to a new computer.

Difficult to get started with this product. Instead of including everything in the package - you have to go to a website and download the software to it, which is no intuitive. The link is buried in a product brochure page with various options. This is especially a problem if your "old' computer is having issues and takes a long time to boot up. I finally got the two computers connected and followed the installation (which has to be done on BOTH computers separately), and 2 minutes into this ordeal, the computers lost contact with each other. No cable were moved, nothing was touched. I found this very frustrating, seeing that I chose a product that would be connected by cable one to the other, not by wifi, so there wouldn't be any connections issues. Going back with rebooting both computers, reinstalling the software, the computers never again connected. Going to the "help" page of the product website is not helpful at all. I even tried using ChatGPT to talk me through possible fixes, and some of these included updating firmware and long lists of "fixes" to try. This product is just too time consuming, and especially maddening when you have the "old" computer having problems, which is why you got a new one in the first place. I'm past my date to return the product, so now I'm stuck with it. Ack.

Syncing between my desktop and laptop was always done via SyncBack Pro over a gigabit network. As file sizes grew, it became evident that the gigabit ethernet was the bottleneck. Set up was easy enough but despite the cable being identified by Windows 10, it still required the Bravura software, and ONLY the Bravura to operate. And this is where things go a bit sideways. I couldn't use Syncback Pro to synchronize between my laptop and desktop over the Plugable USB 3.0 cable because I was unable to create a network over the bridge cable The next problem, is that the Bravura software, is unable to SYNC hidden system folders, like the AppData folder wherein some application specific data resides. This becomes problematic if one is synchronizing data from applications that store information int his folder. Support recommends using manual drag-n-drop copy of files. Finally to cap things off, the theoretical bandwidth available to USB 3.0 is 5Gbps or roughly 640MBps theoretical maximum. Doing a benchmark test took 50GB of ISO images roughly 17 minutes to transfer. That's about 49MBps average. Copying the same files across the network goes faster than >100MBps. Copying between USB and internal SSD drives have >400MBps write speeds. Both systems are rather robustly spec'd, ie. Core i7's with 32GB of RAM and solid state drives. Referring this to support yielded responses saying "we can't comment on network speed" or "can't comment on other sync applications" *paraphrasing*. I'm quite disappointed with this purchase given the anticipated performance boost was nowhere to be seen. However, if you simply need a no-frills quick sync application with a USB3.0 connection, this will pretty much fulfill your needs. Pricepoint wise, it isn't half bad, and it is far less complicated to set up than syncing over a network. Support, however, was rather prompt in their responses and appear to be taking feedback rather well, adding one star just for that.

The cable I originally bought - TBT-TRAN - did not work with my old (circa 2019) laptop. Customer service advised me to download a new Thunderbolt driver, but it would not load. Hence, they shipped me a new cable, USBC-TRAN, which uses older more compatible technology and worked great. Software was easy to use to transfer old data (65 GB worth) to my new computer and was pretty fast (although I didn't time it). I'm giving 5 starts for the customer service, and for the USBC-TRAN

Easy to use on Linux - just enable the plusb driver, if not already enabled in the kernel. Just plug it in, and you'll get a network device on each end of the cable you can configure and run IP over. Amended review - performance between Intel i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz and i7-5557U CPU @ 3.10GHz came in at 155MB/s or 1240 Gbps, about 30% faster than Gig Ethernet.

Buen soporte por email de Plugable para obtener la clave del software que incluye. En la web y en el manual se indica que hay que enviarles un correo con la referencia del pedido, pero el sistema automatico es valido solo en amazon.com Plugable Technologies.

Ca marche parfaitement bien pour transférer ses données entre deux ordis sans avoir à passer par un Disque dur externe ou autre. Il suffit de lancer l'appli Easy Transfer incluse dans Windows à qq part dans le panneau de config et suivre les instruction de branchement, puis on pour Windows XP, 7, 8, ... mais pas 8.1, ah ben non ca serait trop simple ... et puis il y a le "Cloud" qu'ils veulent nous enfoncer par tous les trous, avec le Cloud tu donnes toutes tes données à Microsoft et autres filiales de la NSA, donc pourquoi voudrais-tu faire une sauvegarde chez toi : qq chose à cacher ? Pour Windows 8.1 il faut installer l'appli de Plugable, je n'ai pas essayé mais j'ai confiance. Procédure perso sous Easy Transfer pour le transfert de fichiers perso 1. Connecter Cable 2.

This was my 3rd purchase of transfer cables--and absolutely the best! My first set used USB 1.1 so was interminably slow. The second set from Dell used USB 2.0, so it was faster, but a dreadful user interface. This set from Plugable is USB 3.0 and the transfer speed is fast. (speed tests below) This is important. If all we do is transfer a small file or two it's much faster to use our home network. So, the cables will be used only when we have large, or many, files to transfer. This is where Plugable 3.0 cables pay for themselves. The Plugable Company is excellent. Amazon provides the cables -- with a mini-CD; although most of us will download the software ensuring we have the latest. Plugable sends the software key to your Amazon registered email. It arrived earlier than the cables (2-day express). I sent an email to Plugable. They used auto-reply to acknowledge my mail--but FOUR MINUTES later I received a full response from Plugable. They deal with my issue and added further information which they thought might be helpful to me. FOUR FLEXIBLE OPTIONS 1. DRAG AND DROP This allows you to drag any file from one computer to any destination in the attached computer; unlike a network transfer that limits you to shared folders. I experimented with a folder containing 6 gb video files: From one folder to another on the same computer: 2:45 mins (a fast gaming Asus notebook) From one folder to another on a different computer using a fast (AC3200) network: 6:38 mins. From one folder to another on a different computer using Plugable cables: 4:01 mins. This gave a speed increase of over 65%, with the added benefit of transferring to any folder on the second computer. (Not restricted to a shared folder, which would then require another 2 or 3 minutes to transfer it to its final destination.) 2. SYNC FILES This can be a superb time saver. Say you have 100 books/magazines/comics on computer one, and they are backed up on computer two. You purchase another six or seven books on computer one and want to update the second computer. Simply use the SYNC FILES option, and point to the appropriate directories and Plugable quickly transfers only the new files. 3. TRANSFER DATA TO ANOTHER COMPUTER I prefer to use the two options above, but for those who might not know which files to transfer from an old computer to a new one, this should be a most useful tool. 4. CONTROL OTHER COMPUTER A nice utility that works well, but I can't see any use for it. Why control a second computer while working on the first if the second one is less than three feet away? This is useful when you need to control a remote computer which is miles away; over the internet--but I got the feeling that what we have here is a cure for which there is no disease. Nevertheless, experience suggests that there are probably many people who find this invaluable and use it all the time. Go figure! There is a misleading comment on their packaging, "Does not transfer programs, or executables (protects from malware)". I suspect this is a built-in safeguard when using the Transfer Data option. I was able to easily transfer a folder which had the executable and the uninstall file without any problem. Forgive me if this was long-winded, but for those who are seriously considering this product I hope that the information above will help you decide. IMHO definitely a 5-star product, and a bargain at the price for those who will use it.
