Here at Technology Bytes one of the more common questions that we keep getting, both on the phone and in our e-mail, concerns transferring data from one computer to another. The scenario is usually along the lines of needing to move files from an old computer to a new one.
Certainly, if your somewhat computer savvy and have a home network you can configure things so that you can move files back and forth, but it’s a rather involved process and takes some time, effort and knowledge to setup.
What if there was an easier, simpler way?
Enter The Tornado™!
A simple and elegant device, The Tornado is a USB to USB connector. Plug one end into the USB port of one computer and plug the other end into the USB of the other computer. Without having to install anything, a program window will pop up on both computers which gives you an easy to use, File Manager/Windows Explorer style interface that will let you easily and quickly transfer files between the two PC’s by simply dragging them and dropping them into the appropriate folder of either computer.
The Tornado has a 25MB/s transfer rate and is compatible with Windows 98SE*, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista.
Sorry, no Mac support.
* Windows 98SE operating system does not support the auto loading of drivers. To load the necessary 98 driver, click here or come back after you purchase your device and download the driver for free.
