Why each option
To regularly import a large volume of 100,000 new records nightly into Salesforce, the administrator should use Data Loader due to its ability to handle large datasets and operate via command line for automation.
Mass Transfer Records is a feature for transferring ownership of existing records, not for importing new ones.
While a third-party AppExchange tool *could* potentially achieve this, Data Loader is a native Salesforce tool specifically designed for this purpose and is usually the primary recommendation for large, automated data operations.
Data Loader is a powerful client application provided by Salesforce designed for bulk import, export, update, upsert, and delete operations of up to 5 million records. Its command-line interface makes it suitable for automating nightly data imports of large volumes like 100,000 records.
Data Import Wizard is suitable for importing up to 50,000 records and does not support command-line automation, making it less ideal for a nightly import of 100,000 records.
