Well, 270 gb takes a while to write, no free lunch. You could leave it compressed and write less, if you can figure how to access it on the other side -- zip files suggest themselves, being explorable, windows having compressed folders and with files clickable to open.

cp -rp to a mount would do a cpio pass for you. If the mount is over the network, it would be even slower!

With SAMBA, you can leave the data in place and let them access it on UNIX.

Solaris has a neat ClientFS that is nfs with local caching on hard disk. You start off a little slow, but then all the files re-accessed are on the local hard drive. Ditto for local mods flowing back to the NFS volume. They do not recommend high writes, but it looks like you could turn off updates during the day and then turn them on later for bulk updating.

Plan9 OS from AT&T Belll Labs had hierarchical storage, where every hard drive was a cache for the optical WORM. Never had to ask people to clean their dirs again.
