Does this accept flash drives and camera computer chips? And what do I lose by having Windows 7HP rather than windows 8?

It takes flash drives, but I don't know about computer chips. You do NOT want windows 8---it has a lot of issues.

I am using it with Windows 8 and have no problems at all. Specs say compact flash and various types of SD cards - no mention of Memory Stick.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

Yup! Check out one of the images for the box and you'll see the win 8 compatibility sticker

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

I don't know because I don't try. Find in the hardware compatibility list of windows8 at Microsoft site

I have windows 8.1 and it works fine. This is a great and durable flash drive. Several of my co workers have purchased one after seeing mine.

Read my past comments. The usb 3.0 is not reliable and devices simply stop working at times. PCI-E cards are sometines not detected, so 7 comes up without my add-on usb card periodically. That's why I say, the board is ok, but run win8, not 7. What z77 did you show me? This thread is connected to a specific board the GA-Z77X-UD3H. Are we on the same page?

Yes, the flash drive works with all platforms, Windows 7, Windows 8, OSX, you name it. If your computer comes with Windows 8, it definitely has USB 3.0 ports. So all you have to do is plug it into the USB 3.0 port (which is usually colored blue) and it will work at its intended speed!

Yes. Get the kind that goes into the flash drive slot. The driver will be loaded automatically and you should be able to use. See if you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade. You'll love it

I'm not sure I'm using HP with Windows 8 and USB3. Sorry I couldn't help you very much.

Need more information ... do the USB ports on the card work with hardware other than your WD Passport?

The win98 box will likely not have USB 3.0 and will be slow in transferring, but it should work quite OK

Hi Anita,Technology Guy gave pretty good information - if you have a Windows 7 PC, you should be fine. For this particular camera, I would recommend this memory card: SanDisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDRH-004G-A11, US Retail Package). It's what I have, and I use it with this camera. It's a good value and performs at the speed advertised. I'm not sure, but I think this package includes a card reader, as well (not sure; I got mine from Sears as card-only).Hope that helps!

I have not plugged it in to a windows 8 platform. But there is no reason for it not to work. USB is USB and 8 handles USB.

Well, I just tried a micro SD in mine, and it worked. I'm running Windows 8.1. USB 3.0 also works. That's about all I use, but they seem to work.

Can anyone tell me if this is compatible with Windows7 using a compact flash card?
