Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.

The Windows version is not the problem. Your computer must hook up to this sort of drive. If it does, this will work

As far as I know it will work. If Win8 supports external drives, then it will work.

I've used this Windows 8 with no problem. If you have a USB port open, it should be OK. If not, Amazon returns are pretty easy:-)

To the best of my knowledge, there should be no issues using this unit with Windows 8.

Yes, you can either load Windows 8 on it or use it as a second drive in a Windows 8 system, as the drive uses standard device drivers. A more important issue is whether your motherboard will support getting the best speed out of the drive, and you'll have to see from the motherboard manual or the manufacturer whether it supports a solid state drive in the BIOS.

Yes, I have used this drive from W7 up to a fully updated W8.1 and have had no issues. It's a great drive.

While Windows 8 is not listed, it should work with Windows 8.1 I briefly tested it and it required the disk in the drive to work.

I don't know for sure if you could use it on Windows 8, or not. It advertises that it was a Mac drive, and it setup very easy on my Mac. But I personally have not tried it on a windows 8 machine.

The only operating system I have used it with is Windows 8.1, I recommend 8.1 over 8. I had trouble with plain 8. Drive just does what it supposed to with 8.1 operating system. Installs with no effort.

Beyond a doubt. Windows 8 installed the driver immediately. This is a great drive. You'll love it.

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.

I run Windows 7 x64 so I can't answer specifics about Windows 8. But it is my opinion that any flash drive will work with Windows 8 as long USB 2.0 or 3.0 is supported. If you are looking for a high speed flash drive like this SanDisk, you may also want to compare it to the new Corsair Voyager GT Turbo 3.0
