i know how to transfer data from ex. hdds, flash drives, cds and/or other media devices, but just to let you know im not interested transferring from these common devices i have listed aboveI am mostly and only asking about what type of cables i can use.I actually want to know out of 3 cables which is usb 2.0, firewire, and esata which is both the same connector to transfer data from one pc to another pc when connected to both pc's usb or esata or firewire same port.my question is, which would be compatible and faster and would be work perfectly?also, will both pc's recognize it right away?one thing is i tried to connect a firewire to my laptop and another laptop to test the speed but there was not no sign of the computers being connected or probably i dont know how to do it.i heard most people can do it through usb 2.0 but i want to know if esata will work to because i want and need something that will transfer data fast. and i heard that esata transfer data like 3.0gb/s.thanks in advanced.
You want a crossover cable. This is just a standard ethernet cable with 2 of the wires crossed over to send/receive between the machines. Any electronic store will make you one for a few bucks or you can buty them already made just about anywhere.
Yes you need as many SATA cables as hard drives. Power for the HDDR's comes from the power supply. Yes you disk drive requires power from the power supply. I think for the GFX card you are taking about a 6 pin PCIe connector again power supply.
If you just want to connect 2 computers, with nothing in between (routers, switch, hubs etc), then you need a crossover cable. It's looks like a standard network cable, but the wires are switched around at the ends. I don't remember the exact configuration, but it's not really important. Just go buy one. Ask a non-stupid looking salesperson to help you find one.
