Targus is best known as a purveyor of laptop cases, of which it offers a remarkably diverse and attractive lineup, but the company also markets a variety of computer accessories, one of its newer introductions being the, which is designed to facilitate transferring large amounts of data from computer to computer via USB, serving essentially has a USB substitute for Apple's built-in - a facility that should make it especially popular with buyers of the new, FireWire-bereft,. The High-Speed File Share Cable will work with either USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports, but the latter will be unacceptably slow for moving large files, although I found it worked just fine for moving a document or two from one computer to another on my old, which support only USB 1.1. It can thus replace other forms of media, such as CDs or DVDs, for data transfer. A maximum nominal transfer rate of 480 Mbps is claimed, although that speed will never be attained in real world applications, with something like 260 Mbps being more likely on most machines. However, some testers have reported that USB throughput on the Unibody MacBooks seems to be than we've been accustomed to with older Macs.
The genius of the Targus High-Speed Data Transfer Cable is that it includes built-in file transfer software called EasySuite that works with both Mac OS X and Windows OS - it can be used to transfer files cross-platform as well as from Mac-to-Mac or Windows-to-Windows. And unlike FireWire Target Disk mode, one of the computers does not have to be shut down and restarted in order to set up file transfers. The EasySuite software requires no installation as it is stored on 2 MB of flash memory inside the larger of the cable's USB connector plugs - very slick and convenient! When you insert the cable, the EasySuite 'CD-ROM drive' icon will appear on your desktop. Open the drive window and double-click the EasyMacCopy icon to start the file transfer application.
You will need to do the same on the remote computer. Once the software is running on both machines, the application window will display file directories for both, one above the other. According to the somewhat sketchy mini-manual that comes with the product, which is unfortunately somewhat Windows-centric, in order to copy a file from the host computer to the remote computer you first need to click 'system - setup' in the remote computer, but I found all I had to do was open the EasyMacCopy application on the remote Mac, and I was good to go. Your mileage may vary, or perhaps the 'system-setup' is just a Windows thing. The software also nominally supports email synchronization between computers.
Targus Easy File Transfer Cable For Mac
To configure that feature, you are instructed click 'synchronize mail setup' in the remote computer to sync the mail from the remote computer into the host computer. With the setup configured, click 'synchronize mail start' to initiate your mail synchronization. I did not test this feature, partly because I couldn't find it, so I can't say for sure whether it is Windows-only (the manual is vague on that point), but I didn't figure it would work with my Eudora mailboxes anyway and was disinclined to risk any data experimenting. My guess is that if it does work with the Mac in a way that I didn't discover, it would probably work only with Microsoft email software, or at most might support OS X's Mail app as well, but I don't use either.
Another feature described in the manual that I did not test is EasyMover, which, according to the documentation, can be used to migrate settings and data from the remote computer to host computer, for example moving your files and settings to configure a new machine when you purchase it. The instructions say to click 'synchronize EasyMover setup' in the remote computer and then 'synchronize EasyMover start' to begin the process. I'm also uncertain whether EasyMover supports the Mac or not, but the only function I could find in the window that appeared when I clicked the Setup command in the application menu seemed to pertain only to file transfer configuration, so that may be the extent of it for Macs.
Again the lack of much documentation and sparse sketchiness of what's there is frustrating. However, the file transfer functions, which are my main interest with this product, work just fine. As with any USB device, you need to quit any open applications (in this case the EasyMacCopy software on both computers) and drag the volume icon to the Eject icon in the Dock or use the Eject command before disconnecting the cable. Even without support (presumably: I invite correction if I am mistaken about this) for the mail synchronization and settings transfer functions on the Mac, this Targus High-Speed File Transfer Cable for PC/Macs could be very useful at performing its main function of data transfer as an alternative to file sharing over ethernet or WiFi - or FireWire Target Disk Mode, with gradual abandonment of FireWire evidently now being Apple's game plan. The Targus File Transfer Cable is 4.92' in length, weighs 1.76 oz, comes with a handy travel pouch, and has an estimated street price of $39.99.
