Seem to recall me noting in these parts that accessing a USB drive directly across a network was slow.

I have found that networking directly to an external USB HD over a LAN was quite a bit slower then accessing the networked computer directly.

So it may end up being quicker to copy (or save) the image to a networked computer & then copy (or move) that image to the attached USB HD on that computer.

Two steps, but it may end up being much quicker (& worth verifying that that is the case for you also - or not).
