That wouldn't be so bad given the amount of data.
Even on 1.1? Haven't actually done the math for 25GB of data though.
If you can determine which USB ports are on different controllers, you could
hook up both drives as RAID and copy faster.
Or you could put a USB 2.0 card in the computer.
If he's going to do this, put in USB 3.0. It is impressively faster, and if
you're upgrading such a component, why not do it properly? It won't make your
disc faster, but most drives are well faster than USB 2.0, provided you put
them in an suitable enclosure.
