The USB/Thunderbolt one is a nice catch and good to know if you want to move you data to a new PC. Dell XPS (with soldered SSD) to Framework move just took a few minutes by dd'ing through the created network interfaces (it's different from the tbstream). The limiting factor was the Dell's SSD actually.
- johnwalkr 1mo agoI've been doing this for years between MacBooks with a thunderbolt 4 cable. It's very fast and unlike 10Gbps ethernet, doesn't require a bulky, power-hungry[1] adapter. MacOS also will use thunderbolt automatically for Migration Assistant if available. [1]Most people don't realise how much power ethernet consumes. Even 100Mbps ethernet consumes about 0.5W per port and it goes up with higher speeds.
