I recently installed a SeriTek 1V4 in my PM G4 and PM G5 the

per min claim. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong? Both HDD's
are 2TB 7200 RPM Hitahci's in the PM G5.
SeriTek 1V4 is SATA I, 1.5 Gbps burst, 150 MB/sec (1.2 Gbps) nominal
on a good day.
eSATA, by its nature, runs a bit slower.
What model Hitachi drives?
Exactly what type of backup were you doing? File or block oriented?
Virgin or a merge into an existing volume? Recall that CCC isn't
just copying data - it's also comparing and building file system on
the target...
