Transfer Files Mac to Mac | Time Machine Backup vs Migration Assistant vs Target Disk Mode

You just got a new Mac? But what's the best method of transferring your files?

On your new mac, select transfer your information from a Mac, Time Machine backup or start up disk, and as long as you're on the same Wifi network your old mac will be detected and you can begin transferring. For me, I was given to option to connect via thunderbolt, however it didn't make a difference and it continued to transfer via wifi, which at 43 MB/s is pretty fast. TARGET DISK MODE You can use target this mode. Just go into System Preferences - Startup Disk and select Target Disk Mode. This will restart your mac with a floating connection icon on the screen. Once you plug the thunderbolt 3 cable between your old and new Mac, you'll be able to access the hard drive of your old mac directly. While this method should be faster, in my experience, it was very very slow! TIME MACHINE BACKUP In case you're not aware, Mac's have a very very very useful app called Time Machine backup, which allows you to backup your system to an external drive or a network drive in the background. Just open up time machine, select a disk, and if you tick backup automatically it'll constantly backup the changes every hour or so. Although I've never noticed any degradation in performance, you can always keep it unticked and backup manually for extra control. Something you should always do is open options and add in any folders which you don't need backed up, for example I make sure not to backup my Steam games and my huge Final Cut Pro cache folder. Once fully backed up you'll be able to restore using that same option. Restoring a huge backup via my Synology NAS drive is always a pain, sometimes the computer would just endlessly stay in the loading backup page. However, after a reset of my computer and NAS it usually shakes it off. Over Wifi transfer speeds can be very slow too, but if you connect your computer directly to the NAS drive using a RJ45 cable it'll double in speed. The fastest way I found restoring from backup, is to actually backup your computer to an external SSD drive, then restore from there. However, overall I'd just stick with the built in Migration Assistant over Wifi tool as the transfer speeds were actually very fast, especially considering that it was being done over Wifi.
