Funny thing is, I just transferred 1TB of data from work to home (offsite backup) in just 5 minutes today... via bicycle even! Didn't even think of that until just now. Guess the saying still holds true then!
Although to be fair, doing the backups took considerably more time - a usb external hard disk doesn't copy 1TB that quickly...

Switch to Esata with a $30 Esata docking station. I backup with bare drives (cheaper, no usb enclosure needed) at on average 90MB/s (2TB drives, 3Gb/s sata controller).
