Will this work with Vista and will it be reliable to store pictures on for a long time?

I have not experienced any issues with the documents and mp3s that I have stored on the device. Unfortunately, I can not address your inquiry as it pertains to photo images. If your PC is currently using the USB 2.0 ports, this drive should be backwards compatible (being a 3.0 device) with it. However, the data transfer rates will be restricted by the speed of the 2.0 port.

Formating this device to FAT32 will work on any Windows OS or MAC PC. Yes, I plan on storing Pictures forever on this device.

I believe USB 3.0 is compatible with USB 2.0, so even if you have a USB 2.0 port, it will work, it just won't support the transfer rate of USB 3.0. As for storing pictures for a long time, it is unknown, it will definitely not remove something itself, but for how long the flash itself will function, no one knows. The best thing is to keep copies at several places, hardly all of devices will break simultaneously.

It works with Windows 7 - 32 & 64 bit, Windows XP, Window 8... I haven't tried it with Vista, but I have no doubts that it will work just fine.

Yes this drive should have no problems with Vista. But You might have a problem getting it to work in your computer. That is because the older computers used an IDE connection and since you are using Vista I am assuming this computer might have only the IDE style of connector. This drive uses the newer connection called SATA. Check that you have this before you purchase.

There is no reason it shouldn't work with Vista - Samsung installs all the drivers and BlueRay movie software. Works great for making backing up your home movies. I have it working on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1

I have over 5 gigs of photos, was able to port them all quite easily with Windows 8, then upgraded to the free 8.1, and everything stayed exactly the same, no issues for me.

It will not. The "V2" Media Extenders, which is the software that is pre-installed in the device only work with Windows Vista.

I have one and it worked fine on my old XP machine, but my new Dell has Vista and so far I can't get it to work, even afer downloading the drivers that sandisk said would fix the problem. Vista keeps seeing it as a 14 in 1 drive and refuses to except any input from it. I just gave it to a friend who's still running (and I wish I was) XP and replaced it with one by Belkin.

Hi, I'm no PC expert by any means, but I myself use it for storage of photos, as well as weekly back up of my files on my work lap top. Also I transfer files from one pc to another and never have had an issue. Hope this helps! God Bless......

It is possible it will work. I had it installed on my older computer that was 64bit Win 7 But to be honest it has been so long I do not remember if I had to do anything to make it work. Win 7 is very forgiving unlike that monster Vista. Worst case it wont work but if it doesn't download the FREE Gimp program which will do anything you could want with photos.

Should work fine on vista. I've got it in a vista machine. Make sure the card is seated properly.

Yes it works fine with Vista, probably not mentioned since most users skipped over Vista...it only had like a 3% user base!

Yes it will work with Vista (need 1 GB Ram for 32bit or 2GB ram for 64 bit OS)

Don't know as I took mine out of the computer and put it back into the box. Not reliable for a Vista OS.
