I don't know the answer you are specifically looking for, but you might take
the drive out of the USB case and mount it directly into the PC as a slave
drive. Copying (regardless of method) should go much more quickly then.

Depending upon the drive there may not be a great way. Got this from a web
page on USB2:
Unfortunately, the phrase USB 2.0 does not necessarily mean 480Mbps of
throughput. USB 2.0 now has three different signaling rates: Low Speed
(1.5Mbps),
Does the computer/server you're connecting your external hard drive to have
USB 2.0 ports? I usually get about 650MB/minute with this kind of
setup. A 70GB should take about 2 hours.

I can't remember but do TIFF files compress well? Might be worth it to
ZIP them and copy that over.

In this case that won't work. To zip them will require copying them over
the USB 2.0 connection anyway and that appears to be the bottleneck.
Using xcopy should be the most efficient, but
Graphic files as a general rule don't compress well.
