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'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a 3.0 PCI add-on card connected to the 7 Port USB hub. I have a Seagate 2TB, 3TB and 4TB 3.0 drives attached as well as 320GB and 500GB USB 2.0 drives and have no problems. Just remember any USB 2.0 drive is still limited to 2.0 speeds. Some of the drives are network shares and still I have had no problems. The 7 Port USB Hub works great for me.

Yes, I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 and it works fine. I also use the Seagate with a Windows 7 PC and a Linux computer.

Yes, the Seagate hard drive works with either 2.0 or 3.0 . . . the transfer rate is faster with 3.0

I contacted my external hard drive mfg. (Seagate) via web & then called. They researched the item, gave me the model # for the item and recommended Amazon for best price!Received it quickly and am very happy!

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

I does come with a 2.5 inch hard drive. I personally backed the hard drive (80 GB) and installed a 500 GB instead. I copied the backup to th new hard drive. It came with Vista, but I installed windows 7 professional.

Yes! I've used it with Windows Vista Home Premium on 2 laptops without problems or extra driver installs. Just plug it in and that's it!

This is a somewhat inconclusive Answer: I no longer have the original packaging. The 64 GB does not state speed on the actual drive & I am on USB 2. I do have a 32gb from the same series & it does state USB 3.0 on the drive.

I have Seagate 3TB external HD USB 3 and it works with this ok it just takes awhile on reboot or start up for Windows 7 to pick it up.

I believe this drive is backwards compatible with USB 2. I have the same drives and had no trouble with using USB 2.

The physical sector size of the 2TB drive was (surprisingly) 4096 making it a 4k /Advanced Format Drive. I no longer have the drive to verify my memory on this but that is what my review was about. Formerly Seagate's 2TB external Backup Plus drives were 512 making them compatible with Windows 7 backup and imaging utilities-that's why I say "surprisingly". Since there is no indication of this change on the packaging (even though there is a logo for Advanced Format 4kn-native-and Advanced Format 512e -emulation drives) you would not know it until you bought the drive and tried to use the utilities. If you already bought the drive you can run the command line: Fsutil Fsinfo ntfsinfo x: (where x: is the drive's letter designation) to verify-too little too late, unfortunately! It would be hard to convince me this isn't Seagate's deliberate omission and I think Amazon should have this information listed as well.

It means it will work on either the older USB 2.0 ports or the USB 3.0 ports that are on newer computers in the last few years. Either way, this hard drive should work just fine. I have the USB 2.0 ports and it works great.

My external Seagate Backup PLus 4TB Desktop Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA4000100) works perfectly with KDLINKS, my hard drives are automatically formatted to NTFS.

I checked other responses to this question. This is what I found: " Works with XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8. All of them!Bobby Mac answered on August 23, 2014 " I have windows 7 and mine is a 64GB flash drive and works good for me. It should tell you on the package what systems it will work.

The Hard drive has dual functionality. It works for both usb 2.0 and 3.0. It just works more efficiently with 3.0.

I have a 500 gb seagate usb hdd connected to my ezo device and it works great!! However, I found out that it is limited to 1 tara byte usb drives and I haven't even tried any usb dvd or blu-ray burners yet! To see if they will work, but not sure if there is any dvd or blu-ray software for the android os!!
