Does this work with a USB 3.0 connection under Windows 8? I have tried it on multiple computers and I consistently see 'USB drive not recognized'.

If you are using windows 8 or 8.1 you need to use the prolific usb driver version 3.2. Not version 3.4. This has been my experience. Thanks.

It should be compatible USB is generic and it is USB 2.0 so windows 8.1 will be compatible because USB drivers will be generic hope i helped

I am using on Windows 7, it works fine. It should work on Windows 8 the same but if your computer has USB 3.0 you should a hub that supports 3.0.

I got windows 7 up without a hitch and haven't had problems with it. If it's a problem with the USB 3, have you tried the back of the machine? I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the back ports were 2.0.

Works with Windows 7 Standard USB Drivers. As far as for Windows 8, I do not know.

Some USB 3.0 adapters are finicky, or dont work. YMMV. If you find something that works, stick with it.

Yes, it works with USB 2.0 with an exception. If you connect it to a non-powered USB 2.0 Hub it does not always work. It always works with my USB 2.0 powered hub and it works when I plug it directly into my computer. It is much faster with USB 3.0 Port. (I don't have a USB 3.0 external hub so don't know how it would work with that). It comes with a USB cable that is around 1 foot long. The USB Connection on the drive side is "micro B". I have five of these drives (4 1TB drives and 1 500GB drive) and I did manage to "break" one of my USB cables. Costs about $7 to replace the cable through Amazon. I take the drive from home to work almost every day so I am always disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I use a CaseLogic case when I'm transporting the drive and I may have bent the USB cable when I stored it in the case.

I am running windows 8.1 (64) on a laptop. I probably loaded a driver that came with the drive, but I did not download anything. I have had no problems at all except that I would like to operate throught a usb3 hub and that is not reliable. I use the unit heavily and highly recommend it. good luck!

Yes. My computer does not have any USB 3.0 slots, I just purchased this because I plan on getting a newer computer soon. It works fine with 2.0, and even has some better speeds than my older USB 2.0 drives.

Good question. I. Have Used Apricorn. Aegis hard drives and thumbdrives with windows 8 so I don't see why it wouldn't work with usb 2 and 3. Just make sure your south bridge drivers are current on the motherboard. It should work no matter what

You're using Windows 8! JK. It workes great on my Win 8 rig. The drivers it installs are for the HDD itself. Try using a different USB port. If that doesn't work check the Disk Management utility for your HDD and go from there.

I wouldn't know if does it work with windows 7? but it did show as drive in windows 8 and from that experience it my believe that it will work with windows 7 , the changing settings or any update check out youtube that where i got my information, bottom line is "yes to your question"

I have no problem with mine using Win7 just plugin and let Windows download the driver.Have you tried different USB port? I suggest using USB 2.0 ports instead of 3.0. I Have the same problem with Windows 7 and found out I've installed too many USB devices to my system and there's a lot of drivers tied to my usb port that causing the issue using a different port works for me.

I've Win 7 & 8 and this worked perfect with both laptops, no driver installation was required. I believe its required to plug in to USB3

I worked for me too. I'm using it with a bluray drive from a dead HP laptop. No issues with Windows 7 or 8.

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
