You can probably take the drive out of the USB 2 enclosure and put it in a USB 3 enclosure giving you the benefit of the newer spec and electronics. This will not make the drive behave any different itself (won't spin faster etc.), but you will have the faster 3.0 interface, and thus thoughput. The drive itself is not the performance bottleneck (not by any stretch), but rather the USB interface.
Happy speedups!!

How do you adapt a hi speed flash drive with a non hi speed CPU?
If you plug a USB 2.0 drive into a PC that only has USB 1.0 ports (which qualifies as an example of the scenario in the question) then there's no 'adapting' to do, it's all automatic - the PC and drive just run (i.e. exchange data) at the slower USB 1.0 speed. There's nothing you can or should do about it (except maybe upgrade your PC with a USB 2 card - they're pretty cheap).
