Will it work with Asus Ultrabook S500 with WIN8?

Yes, the external DVD drive should work just fine with your ASUS Ultrabook. I've used it with my ASUS Netbook running Windows 8.1 with no problems at all. Becaus it is an external burner using USB connections, it will not be a quick as an internal drive but does work as it should. Go for it.

i've been contacted several times about my external cd player and generally yes!!! so far it's worked on every computer or lap top so far!!

I didn't install it yet but it most likely would be driver dependent. However, it will be a standard driver built into win 8.

Yes. But, this isn't a UEFI card. This means you need to configure your bios to allow this if you are running a UEFI computer (I think any computer you buy today with Win 8+ is UEFI).

That all depends on the specific PC and actual configurations. But my guess is that it will. It would be unusual for a PC already running Win8, for the pro pack not to work.

No, it would not work for me. Something about an incompatible driver or something. The disc that was included was useless. I could not get satisfactory interface with Win8.1.

It works fine on my Win 7 system. Check the website for the latest updates and make sure your motherboard has an available slot before you buy.

Yes, otherwise the card won't be seen by the OS when you start up. The card has worked flawlessly for me (Win8.1 Pro x64), and the drivers are recent from the company website.

I returned it. I could never get it to work with Win7. Asus did not have the drivers. Check for drivers first.

I am running one now on a Windows 8.1 ultrabook. Win 8.1 detected it and installed a compatible driver without me having to do anything.

Shouldn't be a problem, its a standard USB adapter, if your asus has USB interfaces it should work fine.

As long as it's a PCI express 2.0 slot, and you have windows 7 or 8 it will work

Works just fine on mine. Win8 was able to recognize it and install the correct drivers without incident.

Sure works fine. The multi card reader side is USB2 so no drivers needed. I have win 7 x64 Ult.

I honestly don't know. I am using mine with an Asus netbook. I have not tried it with anything else.

yes, i'm using it with win. 8.1 pro, just don't try the driver that comes with it, it's out of date download new one from the web site.

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

While I don't have Win8 installed on any of my machines, I do have this drive running on a 64-bit version of Win7. There were no ASUS drivers that needed to install. I just plugged the drive into my 64-bit,Win7 machine and it worked as expected. My understanding of Win8 is that if the peripheral works under Win7, then it will work under Win8. I am still very pleased with the performance of this drive and would buy it again or consider an "upgraded" one from ASUS that supports Blu-ray. You do need 2 USB Ports on the same side of the machine, or at least within a few inches of each other. As a reminder, this is USB2 vs. USB3 drive. Hope this helps.
