wouldn't the fact that you are reading lots of information from the usb
drive be slowing you down, why not run your --verify-at-time on the
local disk repo. and then when using rsync from local to usb us the -c
option to let rsync do a checksum on the files, but yuo are still going
to run into the slowness of USB drives
