Will this work with a 500 GB hard drive and with Windows 7?

I will support a 2.5�� IDE Notebook Hard Drive up to 2 TB and WIN 7. If your drive is "IDE" (NOT SATA) it will.

The GB's and windows does not matter. It only allows you to retrieve the data that was on the drive. But to be direct yes It will work. One last thing be sure to check if the drive uses a SATA or IDE connection.

It's highly unlikely if it is a 500GB Hard Drive with Windows 7 on it that it has an IDE connection... IDE hasn't been used as a standard in laptops for almost a decade now. If it was running Windows 7, it's most likely a newer drive and has a SATA connection. You can tell by looking at the end of the hard drive. If it has a connection with 2 long rows of metal pins, then it is IDE. If there is just what looks like 2 black plastic tabs instead, you would need an IDE HD enclosure, such as this one - Sabrent USB 3.0 To 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure Case (for 9.5mm, 12.5mm 2.5-Inch SATA-I, SATA-II, HDD and SSD) Black (EC-TB4P) I hope that helps.

If the hard drive case is 2.5 inches, then yes, it will work. It doesn't matter which version of windows you are using.

Yes it will, I use 500gig and 1 TB hard drives on my laptops. If your system is already loaded you can image the drive.

I've done it with window 7 on the same drive. But I don't know but I plan to test I have the 64gb supersonic

I had 500 GB of pictures and movies in an old computer and I just took out the hard drives and install them in this unit. It worked. No loss of speed or quality and windows recognizes both hard drives.

Yes, this product will work with Windows 7 or 8, both 32 & 64-bit from the same installation DVD included.

Windows 7 can absolutely handle a drive this size. This drive works great with windows 7.

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

I have not tied that specific drive but used Western Digital 500 gb, Acomdata 120 gb and some USB thumb drives. Everything worked fine. I think as long as the hard drive can be connected via USB 2.0 it should work.

I do not think so, but it might work if the 500gb drive had its own power supply. I am only guessing.

Yes, it does. I'm running a 1Tb drive in it on Win7, and it works great. Never had an issue with it.

This case fits up to 500 Gb, 2.5 inch, "SATA" hard disk drive. Hard drive in this case works with Windows 7.

I have been using mine with a second hard drive daily with Windows 7 ultimate with no issues at all. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

I would assume that it would, but I do not use Windows products, I believe that the instructions that came with the Seagate said it will work with Windows. I know it works fine as my backup disk for my iMac.

Yes It will work, I had one for several years that worked on the Windows 7 before it wore out, thanks

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

Hi R. Williams,In response to your inquiry, Toshiba Canvio Connect 500GB Portable Hard Drive is compatible with Windows 7-Aiden

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...
