How to Connect Two Computers with USB Cable

-->

Heard of USB Networking Cable ever? Almost all of us connect our computers with mobile phones, USB flash drives, digital cameras, printers, scanners and several other electronic devices just to transfer our desired data to and fro our PCs. Have you ever tried connecting 2 PCs with one USB cable for data transfer? Yes, it is again an interesting phenomenon to transfer files or building network or even sharing Internet connection. This is where a USB Networking Cable or Bridged USB Cable comes into play.

Usually, the PC is connected to mobile phones, ipods, digi cams or printers via A/B USB Cables. But being different from other USB Cables, the one used to connect two PCs is called A/A USB Cable. As far as data transfer speed is concerned, you can easily find a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 cables in market. Usually the windows or operating systems are not compatible with this networking phenomenon. Therefore, you need to install the programme and drivers of the respective USB cable to both the computers. Remember to restart your computer after installing the drivers.

This phenomenon works in two different ways: the link mode and the Internet mode. Usually, when two different computers are attached with a Bridged cable via link mode, the data transfer speed is comparatively faster and the process is easier. But to get Internet/printer/scanner access in both the PCs, one needs to attach the same via network mode.

To get perfect access of Internet, please make sure that both the computers are configured to your desired IP address. This can be easily identified from the Network Connections menu in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) section. The process of transferring data or files is quite easy and similar to attaching the computer with a USB pen drive or mobile phone.

USB Flash Drives: Upholding World in Your Pocket

Here is one experience shared by an user:

That was an old USB flash drive, not in working condition, placed in a plastic case in my almirah. I released its seal and found that there was a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector inside that small device. That small chip is basically a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 interface.

As I needed another one for my personal usage, I preferred going through a USB guide book before purchasing the same. These pen drives are great maintenance tools for your computer. Whether you have to analyze your disk usage analysis or install an operating system (OS), these mini sized devices are simply the best. Finally, I came to some interesting facts about USB flash drives:

• Pen drives can store a host of portable applications that can be directly used from drives without being installed on a computer.
• These are used for the same purposes as of floppy disks a few years back. But these are smaller, faster, more durable and have greater storage capacity. In 2010, you can find a USB drive even 250 GB memory.
• A simple, small pen drive lets you set up MP3 player, handle email between computers using Thunderbird, and access productivity applications including a full office suite.
• These are rewritable, and allow over 1 million write or erase cycles easily, with a 10-year data retention cycle.
• With a high data transfer rate than other optical disc drives, these USB drives can also be read by most other systems such as the PlayStation 3.

In the market, a few shopkeepers insisted me to buy a larger capacity Hard Disc instead of USB drive. Comparatively, flash drives use little power and are small & light. Most of these do not even include a write-protect mechanism (which makes a device suitable for repairing virus-contaminated host computers). But those beautiful USB flash drives, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal, or rubberized case, stole my heart. I purchased one that can be carried easily in a key chain or necklace. The future for these USB 2.0 drives is quite bright, as several value-added resellers are using a USB flash drive as part of small-business turnkey solutions.

Advantages Of Flash Drives

Flash drives are durable possessing a solid state nature. Their speed depends on when the drive was released and the memory that was being used.

Flash drives are more durable than most 2.5" portable hard drives. Portable hard drives employ magnetic hard disks have movable parts that are easily breakable. On the other hand, flash drives possess a solid state nature. Flash drives are easily pocket able than a portable hard drive and are relatively less expensive. Shoppers who are mostly concerned about storage capacity will prefer portable hard drives as they offer a cheaper cost per GB. Whereas any person who is moving a few office documents, MP3 or handful of movies from one place to another, would opt for a USB flash drive due to its durability and portability.

The fastest USB 2.0 Pen drives that are available in the market are able to reach a read speed of up to 34 Megabytes per second and a write speed of up to 28 Megabytes per second. A Single Level cell (SLC) Memory is being used by the older high performance flash drives of up to 16GB in size instead of a Multi Level Cell (MLC) memory. This boosts up the write speeds for the small files as well as increasing the endurance level of flash drives. However the SLC memory is more expensive upon implementation and offers less storage capacity for the die area. The loss of SLC memory can be made up by implementing the use of quad-channel dual controllers or the custom drivers.
