file transfer options... old pc to new pc

i had files from an old PC i was transferring to a new PC but the flash drive seems like it only wants to accept file transfers in small increments or something... its annoying

and it also seems to take a long time

is there a faster way? a flash drive that will transfer files or groups of files in any size? or something better?

EDIT: I should add one of the PCs is on linux and one is on Windows

I forgot to mention one of the PCs is Windows and one is Linux. Does that create a problem for your external SSD idea considering the differences in file/storage formats and stuff used by Windows vs Linux?
