Does this work plug and play with Windows 8? I'm seeing a few other USB 3.0 card readers with 1 or 2 reviews stating no.

I use Windows 7 so I am unable to answer your question. The man specs say it is suitable for Win 8, the only thing that I could think of is maybe the appropriate drivers have not been downloaded for the other reviewers. I know in my case I had to download drivers for my pc.

I used this an ASUS touch screen notebook with Windows 8 and it worked fine.

The USB 2 and 3 specs are international standards. So yes, it will work with windows 8. The more important question is whether your computer has USB 3 ports or just USB 2. If it does not have USB 3 this will still work but you will be paying for speed that you cannot use. Check your computers specifications by looking up the model number on the vendors website, if you do not know for certain. Buy a USB hub (2.0 or 3.0) based on that.

It works with Windows 7 on just about any USB equipped PC. I'm reasonably sure it would work with Windows 8, but have not tried it.

I have no problems using this Lexar card reader on my desktop and laptop computers. Both machines have USB 2.0 ports and running Windows 7. I did notice that, on my desktop PC, I sometimes need to remove and insert the card reader again, for it to be recognized.

Yes, it does work with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. If attach the scanner to your PC with a USB cable Windows 8 recognizes the micro SD storage card and you can view the scans that are on the card. The scanner should be ON before attached it to your PC.

This card reader connects to the usb 2.0 header on your motherboard, which powers all the card slots. Just make sure you have an open header on your board.

I cannot say for certain if it works with Windows 8, but I did not need to install any drivers for Windows 7, so I would assume so. Just need to watch the USB 3.0 Issue.

Windows 8 has the driver built in, however be aware that this part has an issue with Sandisk 3.0 Flashdrives. Windows blue screens after a few seconds. I researched this, and is seems to only be an issue with Sandik. My 2.0 drives work fine.

I haven't had any issues. I'm running Windows 8 (8.1, if the distinction is significant) and I've accidentally put mine in my 2.0 port a few times. It just won't run at USB 3.0 speeds in the 2.0 port.

Just plug into a USB 1.0 or 2.0 slot and wait for Windows to detect the reader. It should display a balloon indicating it is ready to read/write, etc. Windows supplies the driver. I use Windows XP.

This works fine for me in windows 8. Just plug and play. I used it to play a lot of games on stream like La-Mulana. Many games should support it.

I honestly don't know if it works with Windows 8, but it is installed as a pen driver. When you run the installation CD it installs all the drivers in your PC. It should be treated as a pen driver by any OS.

Yes, this is a USB device. Works well with both my Win 8 and iMac computers. I've used it to read SD (standard) and Micro SD cards in a SD adapter.

It doesn't need a _driver_ to work with Windows 8, it needs a _firmware_update_, which is better (doesn't alter Windows). Details are on SanDisk's site at kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12483/kw/reader%20adapter%20SDDR%20289%20firmware . (Hope that link survives Amazon parsing. If not, go to SanDisk's support area and search on "SDDR 289 firmware".)
