Which build can see SATA III (3.0) (6Mb)

Thread needs solution

Was wondering which build number, and up, can see, back up, & recover too a SATA III (3.0) connected drive? Also which version of the 'Boot Media' can see is, and use it as well? The TI main page does not address this. Which one can do everything with a SATA II drive connected to a SATA III motherboard port? That is what I had connected and my 2010 40xx build could see it, but could not do a back up. It just stopped reading the drive and gave an address it stopped on about 3 minuted into the back up. It could not recover to this drive from an older back that was done while the drive connected to a SATA II port. And another question, the 'Boot Media' dose not boot with my 4gb USB drive is connected and 100% devoted to "readyboost" (it took a lot of trial and error to figure that one out) It would give an error message about not being able to read the drive and then freeze.
Thanks

Great question. I wish I had an answer.

We built a Windows 7 64-bit computer using an ASUS P7H57D-V EVO motherboard with 8GB of RAM, 2 1TB SATA 3 drives for storage, and an OCZ Colossus 250GB SSD used for the OS. I installed Acronis True Image Home 2010, and set up a scheduled backup to one of the SATA III disks. The backup process works great. I was able to open backup sets and recover files without issue. But I needed to restore my complete OS drive, and when I booted the recovery disks that I burned, Acronis TI would not see the SATA III drives. I saw an error at bootup, but it flashed on the screen too fast to be able to read it properly. And when I shut down from the booted recovery CD, I see other errors as well.

Suggestions?

Try downloading the bootable media iso from your account and burning it to CD. Using the Bartpe plugin is another option, also downloadable from your account. See http://kb.acronis.com/content/1749. Also see http://forum.acronis.com/forum/9449 for help building a WinPE ISO (requires the Pluspack add on).

thomasjk,
Thanks for that. Boot media works better now. Still the same problem with ReadyBoot USB drive plugged it.

But still waiting on info about Sata III working from a Win 7 environment.
