I honestly didn't even know this library was that big until I tried to fit it on a partially filled flashdrive to move to my laptop. Wow!
Note: I don't have a lot of pdfs, but there are lots of illustrations and tables amongst the non-fiction.

You need to use a crossover USB cable or a Network connection (a crossover network cable would need static IP's set. A lot of fussing) if you are pushing that much data. Even on a 100Mbps network, that is going to take time as the drive is probably 3 or 6Mbps, but it is a LOT faster than flash
FWIW, I still have some 'Laplink' cables, just no Parallel ports on any PC later than a P4
