Does this hard drive come with pre-installed operating software, and if so, what?

Mine did not. It was totally bare but the computer recognized it upon installation and I had no trouble installing Windows 7.

no, the drive is totally empty- I believe it's illegal to sell a hard drive with a licensed OS already on it, by an unlicensed vendor. You will need your own OS discs to load onto it.

Office is pre installed but a trial version with option to purchase. No discs. No OS cd. It can be upgraded.

This particular model came with no hard drive and I ended up purchasing a Western Digital 500 gigabyte hard drive and install it myself - very easy to do. Itended up being cheaper to do it this way than to purchase it with the hard drive already installed.

The hard drive and operating system came fully installed. The system has been working well.

It was included in the purchase price for me, so I assume yes.. :) Hope that helps.. Had mine almost a year now, and the way it works, I doubt I will need it.. Great drive.

Nothing, just the hard drive itself. You want the Retail Kit version if you want the extra stuff like the Box.

The unit comes with any Hard Drive. I am currently using a 2TB SATA Hard Drive in my unit with any problems.

I'm only using the one drive it came with right now. It might have software raid. You can ask the seller via their support link at deepdiscountservers.com.

came with window 7 pro pre-installed, and with a windows 8 disk - I assume there's a downgrade license from window 8 to windows 7 - not sure otherwise

I ordered the diskless and installed 2ea, 3TB Western Digital Green drives which were on the approved drive list. Worked flawlessly. I would hope that any drives pre installed would follow their own drive list.

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

Yes it does. However, it doesn't always come with operating system as advertised. Be certain that it is loaded or that a disc comes with.

It came with a cable and the booklet on how to install, cl9ne, and wipe the drive. I had bought an extra 6gb sata cable just in case but was surprised when it was in the box
