I think it is more of the fact it is a USB 2.0 device hooked up to a 8 year old desktop USB 1.0 port. But the process is finally complete and it looks like found everything I had on there and I have been able to pull it off the drive and move it to one of my internal drives on the desktop.
I should have ran the scan from my laptop since it is equipped with USB 2.0 and it probably would have went much quicker. Nonetheless, Im glad it is done and it appears I have all my files back. So now Im in the process of formatting the drive so that I can move all the files back to it and pick up where I left off several days ago.
