Apple HDMI ports are outbound audio/visual content only. Connect the PC and the Mac with an Ethernet cable. You may need the PC side connected to a switch.

Extremely Slow Data transfer to USB from Macbook M1 Pro All, I am using Portronics usb-c to usb 3.0 cable to transfer my data from macbook pro M1 to usb and my data size is just under 2GB and still M1 takes about 2 hrs to copy files. The manufacturer has specified data transfer rate up to 5GB/Sec on usb 3.0 port but macbook is not delivering the expected performance any advise please?
