    Does anyone know if Clonezilla(AMD64) -stable releases - 2.2.0-31 support AMD USB 3.0 when run thru CD/DVD ?

    I understand that the Kernel version has everything to do with it and what drivers are in there.

    Linux has support for usb 3.0.

    The Linux kernel has supported USB 3.0 since version 2.6.31, which was released in September 2009.[20][21][22]

    Which driver is in there Fresco or Renesas ?

    two main USB -if certified as 2010 are Renesas(AMD) and Fresco logic.
