I'm running clonezilla on two IDENTICAL dell servers. Both are brand new, Windows 2008 R2 OS, nothing else installed, fresh out of the box. Both are configured with SAS hard drives, RAID 5. I'm using the same backup media, a USB external 1 tb hard drive, to store the backup images. On server one, the image backup is reported to run an at about 5 gb/min. On server two, the image backup is running at about 900 mb/min. I've tried creating the image a couple of times on both servers, with the same results. DELL support has reviewed the hardware for both servers and confirmed that they have identical hardware and drivers. Anybody have any insight into this? I am guessing there is some type of hardware problem on the slower server, but diagnostics don't point to anything, so can it be some CloneZilla oddity?

It's not easy to tell this kind of issue. Maybe you can try to use dd or some other file dumping program to test that, i.e. isolate the Clonezilla, then we can see where the issue is.
