How do you transfer more than 1 terabyte from PC to PC?

In the past, I have used a USB to transfer a few video files from one computer to another. This time I have over 1 terabyte of movies and shows I'd like to transfer. What is the best method?

I know it will take a very long time

What is the best method?

Sometimes the best method isn't a transfer at all. Don't forget transporting is an option.
Do you need to transfer the files? or could you just use an external you share between different PCs?
If an external works, but seems inconvenient, you can fix that by having the drive connected to a USB switch. When connected to a switch you can press a button or use a remote to change which PC the drive is connected to giving you instant access to the drive contents without having to sync/copy anything over.
