USB 3 Host Controller not recognized with Acronis True Image Emergency Boot Disk
Does anyone know which USB 3 host controllers are supported?
I am using this one:
4-Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI-E PCI Express with 15-pin SATA Power Connector
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1NV0RH3514
Closest I can tell is it uses the VIA chip.
Drive is recognized when plugging into existing USB 2.0 port but defeats the purpose as it slows throughput down.

I believe this controller is listed as VIA USB eXtensible Host Controller under device manager. I have the latest Windows drivers and works fine in Windows. Fast backups at about 80 MB per second using USB 3 on an external drive.
My problem is the Acronis True Image Emergency Boot Disk apparently does not have the correct driver for this card. This must be a very common issue ?

I still recommend that you check the OEM's own web site to find latest drivers and firmware. I found much more recent ones than those from Windows.

No, not common. ATI 2013 and ATI 2014 Rescue Media seems to have pretty good support for a wide range of USB 3.0 stuff. But, it's possible that yours isn't yet covered, I don't know. Do what I suggested and if no joy, send details to Acronis.

I would imagine the VIA chip would be widely used in many different boards. Does your Renesas use this chip? There appears to be a general VIA firmware and driver page, however I am checking if it is compatible with my board.
It does show the last firmware available was dated 2012, so some time ago. The Drivers also show a 2012 date.

I believe that Renesas (or formerly NEC) would also be the chip provider.

Update. still no go on getting the USB 3 host controller recognized by the emergency boot disk.
Updated the drivers and firmware for the VIA USB 3 host controller.
Created a WinPE boot disk with the 32 bit VIA USB 3 host controller driver injected into the Acronis ISO. Still does not see the USB 3 drive attached to the controller.

Something else to try would be MustangPE. You can add custom drivers and other things. Really nice.
