Seagate's website claims all the "Go" series products are compatible with 64-bit Vista: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=196031. It specifically lists Vista Home premium there, and you can find a download for the 64-bit software on their website, too. They put in bold print that they "now" support 64-bit, so the earlier reviewer was probably right at the time he/she wrote the review.

I installed 2 "Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA4000100" and it seems to be working fine. I found it cheaper to pull them from the housings.

I recently got this 250GB passport and it works perfectly with my Vista home premium. I didnt encounter any problem. It was just plug and play; as simple as that.

The Drive works well with Windows 8, 8.1 64 bit Providing you up grade software that comes with the unit. I do not have Windows 7 64Bit'

To answer your question...yes, USB is backwards compatible. However, given the context of your question that is irrelevant. The hard drive does not dictate the USB version (or corresponding transfer speed) - that is dependent on the USB Controller (built-into the external enclosure)....an "older" SATA drive could be mounted into a USB 3 enclosure and a brand new drive could also be mounted in a USB 1 enclosure. You really just need to make sure the drive you are mounting uses the same connector as the enclosure (e.g. PATA or SATA). HTH

Yes it does, but first you need to download updated drivers from the Seagate website and drop it into the drive and restart.

I have an older Seagate External HD (1.5TB) and a few 3TB Western Digital HD. I have them hooked to my Window 7 desktop through the Anker USB 3.0 hub; so far I have no issues. When not accessing data on my external HD, the disks do spin down gracefully and go to "sleep"...so far I have not had any issues with this device...hope this helps...

I never used it with Vista Home Premium, but Epson's website says it is compatible with Vista. But read this from the Epson web site about installing drivers:http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&type;=highlights&noteoid;=86150. Says not to insert the install disk that comes with the printer. I would give it a try, as Amazon would let you return it if it does not work.

There is no reason it shouldn't work with Vista - Samsung installs all the drivers and BlueRay movie software. Works great for making backing up your home movies. I have it working on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1

Not sure I understand your question. If you mean will it work with the new computer, it should if the computer has a USB port and Windows is installed. Windows will recognize the flash drive so you can either load files onto the Cruzer or download any files saved on it. I had no problem using this flash drive with my computer running Windows Vista.

It works fine with Windows 7, including both Home Premium 32/64 bit and Ultimate 64 bit (those are the systems I have). Think about it....why would Microsoft, of all companies, create a product that is not compatible with their latest operating system?

No, no instructions. Yes, it is compatible with Windows Vista. It is an internal drive meaning that you install it inside the computer case. Does your case have an empty slot for the drive? It not, you might consider an external USB drive instead. I have one of those as well and it has been just as reliable as the internal unit.

Yes, it's backwards compatible with 2.0 It's what I use. Of course you don't get the speed of 3.0. I have a Toshiba drive that is USB 2.0 and esata compatible. Esata is faster, however you need a port on your computer and for mine, it must be turned on before I boot my computer. It requires power also. The Seagate and some others draw their power from the device they are plugged into.

I have no idea. I would call Seagate. They were great when I called with questions.

Any external USB hard drive can be used via the USB ports, the seagate HD is necessary to for the "convenient" slide in interface (it still leaves both USB ports open)
