This happens if you copy data from a fast device/HD to a slow device/HD using "[x] standard copy method(recommended)".
Windows seems to buffer the write operations (using a buffer with up to several hundred MB), and TC waits until the write operation is successfully reported by the system.

Afair, you can uncheck the above mentioned option and use the old copy method to prevent this.
Attention: the old copy method may be less efficient or even dangerous in combination with some network/USB- devices, so please test it before and verify that all data are written correct to external devices.
