Seagate's website claims all the "Go" series products are compatible with 64-bit Vista: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=196031. It specifically lists Vista Home premium there, and you can find a download for the 64-bit software on their website, too. They put in bold print that they "now" support 64-bit, so the earlier reviewer was probably right at the time he/she wrote the review.

Yes, it's backwards compatible with 2.0 It's what I use. Of course you don't get the speed of 3.0. I have a Toshiba drive that is USB 2.0 and esata compatible. Esata is faster, however you need a port on your computer and for mine, it must be turned on before I boot my computer. It requires power also. The Seagate and some others draw their power from the device they are plugged into.

I installed 2 "Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA4000100" and it seems to be working fine. I found it cheaper to pull them from the housings.

Any external USB hard drive can be used via the USB ports, the seagate HD is necessary to for the "convenient" slide in interface (it still leaves both USB ports open)

I purchased at 1 terra byte drive and it worked fine on our Win 7 laptop so I see no reason why the 500 gb drive wouldn't work just fine too.

I have Win7 64 bit and it works fine. A scan disc doesn't care what version of windows it is plugged into. The files might not be able to load onto a computer that has outdated programs that cannot read or convert what you have downloaded onto the scan disc. To my knowledge I do not know of any problems whether it is a usb2 or usb3.

This is meant to make it work like and external drive, it does work. Make sure you call Seagate to be sure you have what I have, and it works with yours: call (1.800.732.4283) this is a US number.

My Western Digital and Seagate 2TB portable USB3.0 drives work fine with it.

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.

I can't say, but I CAN say that this drive didn't work and upon asking to return it the company didn't even want it back. Buy a Microsoft drive. They cost more, but they'll work.

Not sure I understand your question. If you mean will it work with the new computer, it should if the computer has a USB port and Windows is installed. Windows will recognize the flash drive so you can either load files onto the Cruzer or download any files saved on it. I had no problem using this flash drive with my computer running Windows Vista.

I have a 500 gb seagate usb hdd connected to my ezo device and it works great!! However, I found out that it is limited to 1 tara byte usb drives and I haven't even tried any usb dvd or blu-ray burners yet! To see if they will work, but not sure if there is any dvd or blu-ray software for the android os!!

As far as I know I haven't had any issues with it running on older platforms. Look at the seagate website for requirements.

I held off a long time for the same reason. Rest assured, Vista 64 compatibility was added with the the Power Pack 1 (think SP 1) which also corrected the data corruption problem and added other features. Note, it is a pain as you have to first install from a 32-bit operating system before you can install under Vista 64-bit. In other words, I had to connect my girlfriend's laptop with Vista 32 and start the install before I could ultimately connect my Vista 64 desktop to the EX470. It does work though and I love this product. I'm backing-up automatically, set up a photo share for my friends to access, can trade files with friends and serve all my music / video files to my Xbox 360s over powerline ethernet adapters. I recommend upgrading memory from 512mb to 2gb (HP has lifted warranty restriction against this).

Yes! I've used it with Windows Vista Home Premium on 2 laptops without problems or extra driver installs. Just plug it in and that's it!

I have the Seagate 2tb and I also run Windows 7 and it just asked me to upload an out of date app but it works. That's all I can tell you.

Yes it will work, the drive is exceptional faster than a standard, the only flaw I had seen, With Windows 7, or the bios at first instal it confused my D drive as the primary rather than the C, So I had to reformat and reinstall, the second time was all good though. I like it, It works great for me, I can hear windows booting even before my screen comes up after bios boot. Considering the price v/s solid state, I will get me another hybrid. You can never go wrong with Seagate quality anyways, that is why banks prefer Seagate in there PC's.
