Thank's!!!! note: it's transferring all data to an USB 2 tb external hard Drive.

Imaging 120 GB of data over USB 2.0 will easily take several hours. The process of compressing that amount of data as the image is being created considerably increases the time taken for it to complete.

I imaged my son's hard drive recently over USB 2.0. There was 300 GB of data and it took 4 or 5 hours as I recall.
