WD doesn't support Vista and doesn't care ~.......2007-05-06

I've tried twice via email to get support from WD and as usual, they're putting the blame on Microsoft rather than providing a fix. Vista doesn't recognize the drive. Yep, time to switch brands!

lots of memory.......2007-03-27

great product the only thing is the cable on the back comes loose every once in a while and I have to plug it in again but not a big deal to me. Otherwise works great

Western Digital Drive does NOT work with VISTA.......2007-03-23

I wouldn't recommend this drive to anyone, as it doesn't work with VISTA!! What a waste of money to have a piece of equipment, where the mfg doesn't support you with an UPGRADE TO YOUR SOFTWARE for new operating systems. There customer support is terrible, and the only fix I can see is to pay an additional $49 to Dantz who now does their software (Retrospect Backup) who has offered an upgrade from vs. 6.5 to 7.5 for an additional $49. I just installed approximately 20+ new programs in the past 3 days on my new Vista operating system....and not one of them charged me for software updates because of Vista. BUYER BEWARE.

No Vista drivers.......2007-03-06

Doesn't work with Vista. No help from WD Support when they finally replied to my email.

No Vista Drivers.......2007-02-22

Bought this a bit more than a year ago, and it works well with my XP box. However, I recently purchased a laptop with Vista, and wanted to use my WD External Hard Drive to transfer some data over, but the drivers on the disk do not install, and on the WD website, there are no updated drivers for this drive. This is not acceptable.
