Does this work for a Surface Pro 3 that uses Windows 8?

I have not used it on a Surface Pro 3, but if Android 4.2 can pick it up, then Windows 8 should have generic drivers that should work. I must warn though that my Android Player got only 5MBps/s out of it. If you're planning to stream HD videos, then I would not get this.

I have not tried it due to the fact that I do not have a Surface tablet. However, it should work as the Surface Pro 3 is more laptop/computer like than anything else on the market. I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support on the question.

Surface Pro 3 has only one USB port and it is underpowered for this drive. You must have another USB power source. The Microsoft Charger for the Surface Pro 3 has a USB port. Microsoft Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do not support playing DVDs or Blu Rays. You must buy software to do that.

Yes, it does work with a Surface Pro 3; however, you need a special Y-cable like this: StarTech.com USB2HABMY3 3 Feet USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B The external drive consumes more power than Surface Pro 3 USB port can provide. Without the Y-cable, the external drive used to disconnect intermittently.

For me it worked on Surface RT, the original surface. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the Pro 3 as well.

I have a Surface RT 8.1 and it works great. I don't know if this will work for the Surface 2 or Pro, there may be a slight size difference. Not sure.

I doubt that it will fit a Surface Pro 3. It fits the 2 snugly enough. The Surface Pro 3 is a bit larger.

I don't see why it shouldn't work. The Surface pro is equipped with a Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP).

Yes; I have installed it on my Surface Pro 3 that runs Win 8; no problems. The problem is with MSP 2007: you cannot run it on a Win 8 machine.

Yes it would work but you should use a USB 3.0 device instead since the Surface Pro 3 supports USB 3.0.You can read about the speed differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 here: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/usb5.htm

It should, I can't answer with 100% because I don't have a pc with windows 8. It works fine with windows 7 professional.

Absolutely, I bought it for my Surface Pro. I was pretty surprised on how seamlessly connected to my HDMI monitor. Even my 19' Vaio laptop with dedicated video card stumbles a lot when I connect the HDMI monitor when I have a few windows open, but the Surface Pro 3 did it without a problem.

Yes it does work with the Pro 3. Just have adjust the external display to fit content correctly.

Yes. This works perfectly on my Microsoft Surface Pro when it ran Windows 8, and also now running Windows 8.1. Never any problems.

Nope, I just used mine with a Microsoft Surface Pro 2. There it worked fine.

It works with surface pro, it must also work with surface pro 2 as the port is same
