We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

In the past, I have used a USB to transfer a few video files from one computer to another. This time I have over 1 terabyte of movies and shows I'd like to transfer. What is the best method?

I know it will take a very long time

10 GbE. 17 minutes.

Of course you need disks that can read/write at that speed (1.25 GB/s). Should not be a problem for NVMe SSDs.
