never used clonezilla for anything like that i just DD.
USB 2.0 is considerably slower then 3.0, but does the server that contains your Ubuntu have 3.0?
also are you doing this as a backup, or to just increase the size of the HDD on the server? if it is the later you might be better off putting a fresh instal then rsyncing the data between the 2 drives internally. that would be both faster and cleaner.
you might also consider rsync.
one thing to keep in mind is that this is a server, so if it is active and performing tasks while you are trying to clone the data, that could put a damper on performance.
