David,
The Exchange Migration Wizard (mailmig.exe) will let you export mailboxes
larger than 2GB, since the data will be divided in 2GB chunks.
The exporting process is not very fast, the only way I see to speed you up
is to run MAILMIG simultaneously on several computers.
I don't know if a NAS device is faster than USB, it depends on many factors,
such as the network bandwidth or the USB speed. I guess you must have a very
large database to export if you're worried with the speed of the HD!!!
