Does this drive come with software?

No, it is a 'standard' drive which works correctly with native Windows drivers. Any program which works with other internal DVD drives will work with this one.

Yes it does! I just tried it on my newer computer (I use this drive for an older computer) after seeing your question. It worked quickly and smoothly.

No software comes with this. It is only an enclosure for a mSATA SSD that you would already have.

It comes with no software. On windows 7, 8 and 10 the OS recognizes it and it works.

If you mean, "can I use it on Windows 7 without adding other software", then "yes". You can administer the drive characteristics using Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management (or whatever it's called in Windows 7; I'm currently using Windows 8).

No, you would never expect to have anything pre-installed on a bare drive like this. Formatted maybe, but usually not. Completely empty.

It does, but I do not recommend buying!! I have had much better luck with a "WD My Passport" harddrive.

I don't remember any. It is all on the drive. All I had to do was plug it in and it was recognized. Win7 64. Probably get it off of Seagate's web site too.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

It does not. I do not know of an auxiliary hard drive that does come with this pre installed. This type of software is normally installed on your " C " drive and is directed by you to protect each drive that you designate.

Yes, software comes with the unit. It works great; not a single problem with it.

This drive does not. If you didn't want to purchase that separate, look for a drive that says it comes with a "desktop kit" from SanDisk or any other brand. This package is drive only.

no software, depends upon what software you are running, install the unit, make sure your jumper settings are on the cable end are set right, "CS" for the unit on a cable by itself or "slave or master" if on a cable with another unit. If you software doesn't see it when you power up, you will need to go on the web and look for that drive software to download. sorry it took so long to answer, I've been on vacation.

If I understand the question! the software the comes with the item in question is L.G. Burning tool, Power Backup, Label Print, You Cam, USB Fast, User Manual, and the Norton Internet Security (60 days). You will need to check out these on your own. As they may or may not be for you. This is the Super Multi Drive Install Disc for Windows. I can not say much about the programs, because I don't use them that much. Sorry. But the Drive works wonderfully.

Not mandatory. You can use the drive as is. I kept the software on - just in case I changed my mind and/or computer. Be careful what you delete, some of the software is not related to the back up application.

There was software included, presumably a backup program. I formatted the disk and use time machine to do my backups.
