Do you need to install additional software? Also, does it drain the battery?

No additional software, and no drain on battery that I could see. Please note that I have returned my 128GB StorEDGE as I had nothing but trouble with mine... unreadable in any of my devices, had to repeatably reformat. Also, it does not sit flush in my 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display. Wish you luck if you go ahead any try.

No and no, it works as if you had an USB Flashdrive plugged in your computer

No additional software - just put it in and it starts working. No impact on battery life at all.

No need to install any software, just plug it in and it is recognized; doesn't drain the battery at all. it is very cool and handy..to have that additional storage.

No additional software required. It's "plug n play" but I think it drains the battery. The 10 hrs duration I had became almost 8 hrs!! But it's worthy !!!!!

I had to upgrade the software that came with mine, but haven't had any problems with it once windows 8 recognized it was plugged in.

To buder12No software needed to be installed.As soon as you get the card to the slot, it appeares in the Finder. And Transcend fits nicely to the slot.I haven't notice any battery drain when in sleep mode, at least so far.I hope my answers were useful to you.

It should work on Mac with no problems. My Mac detected it and showed up in the system preferences under the Energy Saver section. No additional software had to be installed.

You need to download and install the software from the manufacturers website. The software included in the package is obsolete.

I havent even known that it requires an extra battery or I can add one.I use it quite a bit and it works fine...It is a very good camera for little movies of simple things like babies or a little recording you need to upload. Its Photos are useless and the videos are not high quality for making into high quality movies. SImple Youtube or Picasa uploads they are great... quick and fun.Hope that helps.

I am not aware of any software used for this unit. It is just hooked up and plugged into a 110 outlet.

If you want to program the keys, yes you do need software (I never used it). If you just want to use it like a normal keyboard and take advantage of the back lighting - no software is need for this. If you read my review, my biggest complaint is the return key isn't large like the picture - it's the sizeof the backspace key. I say false advertising.

Yes. You can run it without any software installed without any issue.What you will loose is monitoring / shutdown time modification which is provided via software (software is pretty good and light-weighted)But for this unit, since it has LCD panel, you can control most of features via hardware button and LCD anyway (just tedious)

NO, you need to install additional Hardware and Software to use it. It is just the barebones, you need to add the other layers to bring it Live!

In my experience no additional software is needed - just plug and play. I have plugged it in to my macbook and used it to control instruments in both Garage Band and Logic Pro X - they just recognize the device and ask if you want to use it as a controller.

No software necessary. If you are using a case you may not be plugged in far enough. Try using dock without the case on your phone. If it works w/o the case then you may have to modify your case so it works with the case on ... I had to do this.

No, The one I purchased had new software loaded, and stopped at the ready to run for the first time. I had to enter the product key on the unit to activate it.

I installed the software. Only load the software if you need an upgrade of what you already have installed.

Yes, that is correct. Once you set it up you don't need the special software unless you want to reconfigure it.

It does take a battery so I would first make sure it's not dead and it is plugged in the right way. When I first got mine it wouldn't work cause I didn't have the app yet. It only works when you hve the app open and click on the button on the screen. Without the app it won't work. If it doesn't work after that it's broke so sen it back.

I'm not sure you need software. I connected using the cable they provided and was able to program it online.
