Cloning via bootable CD and SATA III
I am currently using ATI2015 and created a bootable rescue CD. It only images at SATA II speeds yet the hardware and HDDs are SATA III (3) (6G). If I purchase ATI 2017 does the rescue CD support SATA III (3) (6G) controllers?

SATA speeds are dependent upon the hardware as well. If you have a SATA card that is PCI 3.0, but shares bandwidth of the ports and you have 2 ports in action, you can theoretically cut the performance in half on both drives as they each will use half of what's available.
Also, the default Linux drivers may not be optimized for all types of hardware. You can also try WinPE rescue media and provide specific drivers for your system to help ensure it is using the most compatible and current Windows drivers to ensure the best functionality and performance. The default Linux media is convenient, but because it is Linux based (and drivers are not regularly updated as well), WinPE rescue media can have an advantage in driver support and possibly performance as a result.
