External hard drive to USB stick?

I would like to copy films that take 8 hours from an external hard drive to a USB stick. Can you do that on the laptop? How does that work and which USB stitch do I need?

External plate on laptop

Stick to laptop

Open explorer

Mark and copy files on external hard disk (Ctrl + C)

Insert files on stick (Ctrl + V)

The stick has to be big enough. The size of the files you can see in the Explorer.

And the laptop and the stick should support this file size as much as possible USB-3, otherwise you can brew a hectolitre of coffee, it will take that long.

Like other files too. With the filemanager (also called file manager or file manager, depending on the system language). Slide over or copy-paste. The capacity of the USB stick must be adapted to the amount of data.

Yes you can, you just connect both to the laptop and copy the data.

However, and this is already explained in a previous question, it is not the length of the films that determines the necessary storage space

Coffee? Good idea ☕☕☕
