Does this work with standard Win 7 drivers or does a proprietary driver need to be installed?

I am running it on Win7 for a few months now. I believe I had to load the drivers off their CD. Load drivers before plugging the adapter.

I don't I recall but I pretty sure I installed the asus driver. I did not install the wireless connection software because typically that software is not needed: windows does that natively.

No it works with standard drivers that I recall. No specialized ones are needed. Either that or it stores the drives on a small bit of ROM that the PC grabs like a jump drive like they do with printers nowadays.

I am currently running Win7 64bit with no problems and is very easy to setup with drivers provided.

I think the only drivers for Win 7 you need are USB3. Hub chipset is Etron Technology, drivers are linked to Dropbox on their site.

I am running one now on a Windows 8.1 ultrabook. Win 8.1 detected it and installed a compatible driver without me having to do anything.

The default driver in w8 will work just as in w7 but Microsoft suggests still downloading the specific driver but as of right now there is no such driver yet. In short yes.

Yes, it works with Windows 7. But I had to call support to help me get the correct drivers. The one's on the CD did not work. But after doing that, it works well.

There should have been software provided by the manufacturer for use on windows 7 or XP. It will not work without the proper drivers installed or the software.

Can someone provide the link where I can download the driver for Win 7 / 64 bit the one listed in the Q&A; no longer works. thanks!

I'm sure it depends on your operating system, but on Windows 7, the operating system either already had the drivers or downloaded them without any work from me.

Yes it is. I have it installed on a windows 7 machine and have no issues with the drivers.

I wish I had an answer to help out - I am running win 7. The product works, though.

I just bought this a few months ago and plugged it into the computer. My Windows 7 picked it up with no issues or drivers to manually install.

The card will work without special drivers. However once booted and installed you need to load the special drivers. With just the generic Windows drivers I could not access all of the SATA ports on both the card and motherboard. Once I installed the special drivers everything works great.

The driver that automaticily installs upon installation. Worked on all others except 32 bit Windows 7.

This works great in win 7, either as discrete or teamed ports. I don't recall if drivers are native in Win 7, but in any case, easy to locate from intel site and install.

It has been some time since I got mine, but I believe Win 8 will do what Win 7 did; I plugged it in and the OS went searching for drivers and installed them automatically. I paid about $10 for mine. At that price, I thought it worth the gamble.

Check for OS specifics with manufacturer, I've used it with win 7 and win 8, but obviously have not tested it with every computer out there.
