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.
According to my math, it could be done in around 7 hours.
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.
Sure, I could have added "2.0 or better", but assumed that would be
obvious. USB 3.0 enclosures are still not that common and since it's an
older system, 2.0 would be sufficient to get it done.
