dd doesn't print progress output while running unless asked. If your disk light's flashing, it's not done.
If you're running Linux, you have gnu dd, which will print progress statistics when you give it SIGUSR1.
A terabyte disk could take a good number of hours, easily. I never did manage to get a 1.5T RAID mirroring done the same workday I started it. Don't give up yet. Sleep on it, and it'll probably be done in the morning.
