If the device started as empty and you know roughly how much data
you have to copy (in some way), then there's several options that will
give you a rough idea.
If the device was empty, and you know the total size you're
copying:
$ df -h /dev/sdb1
or
$ du -hs /media/mountpoint (will take longer and use up device bandwidth doing it)
If the device was empty, and you know how many files there are,
then:
$ find /media/mountpoint -type f | wc -l
