Has anyone used this, with the software, for Windows 8? I know it says it's compatible, but I want to be 100% sure before purchasing.

All I can tell you is that it seems to be 100% compatible with Windows XP. It seems to behave a little different with my Windows 7 in that it backs up a little differently with Windows 7. As for treating it like an external drive, it works perfectly with Windows 7. Sorry I am not able to answer about the Windows 8.

Sorry I've only used it with Windows 7. I totally don't bother with the software though. It's great as a drag & drop external and I'm sure that part of it would work fine with W8.

It should be compatible with Windows 8, but I'm not 100% sure since I hate Windows 8. If not, try Compatibility Mode (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-windows). I've also tested with Windows 7 on Google Chrome and Firefox, with satisfying results.

Definitely compatible with windows 7, I use it with windows 7 on a daily basis. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be useable with windows 8. At the very least, I'm sure it can be used as a plugin with a windows 8 host like Ableton or another DAW.

Yes, it works very well with windows 8 which I have. Version, I don't know-I have had it a month so it is a new version and it is the portable one, not the big one.

Hi Armando, I used this on Windows 7. No reason why it should not work on Windows 8.

I have windows 8 and it worked fine for me, and even continued to work fine even after I upgraded to Windows 8.1 so yes it is compatible with your operating system.

It should work with windows 8 provided you have the necessary software. I believe this is an oem sale so software is not included. That can make it very pricey.

I can't get mine to work. It seems that it isn't compatible with my windows 8.

I am not sure about windows 8 compatability. I have not found the software with this unit to be very friendly toward any mircosoft operating system. I am currently running mine with Windows 7 and it is doing ok but I have ocassional problems. The sound quality is great, however, when things are operating correctly.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

I bought my software before Windows 8 - is says for Windows XP or Vista. I don't know if they have a release where it may allow it to work on Windows 8

I used it with Windows 7 Professional, but I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.

I'm running it on Windows 7. It was initially not supported on Windows 8, hence the reason for looking for an upgrade and discovering it was no longer supported by MS. It will definitely not work as a "Windows App".

Try it without the software at the present time I am using it on a Windows 7 64 bit. But I did have it on a Windows 8.1 64 bit OS and it worked fine!
