i'd able wirelessly transfer large folders of photos/videos mbp imac quickly. i'm transferring 4.23gb folder , taking 30 minutes. pay 100mbps cable internet , using airport extreme ac.
1. determines networking speeds?
2. there can improve speeds?
3. distance extreme macs make difference when transferring between macs?
thanks.
ok, multiple factors impact speed:
- the speed of internet paying has nothing if transferring files directly 1 computer another.
- if using drop box or icloud internet speed may impact downloads , uploads.
- the speed of wireless router affect how fast files transfer.
- the speed of processors in each machine impact speed.
- the speed of hard drives impact speed.
- the amount of ram (where files put temporarily saved hard drive) impact speed.
what do:
- connect computers directly each other via cable
- put 1 in target disk mode (so can see it's hard drive) , copy files 1 computer another.
instructions on target disk mode:
