Would this work for an older computer (2007) running windows 8.1, to add a 4tb and a 500gb drive, neither as a boot drive?

I don't see a problem as long as your computer can recognize a 4TB hard drive.

That should work just find. Remember that it is the OS that will or will not recognize the size of the drive(s), not the hardware in most cases. But motherboard BIOS might be questioned and looked into just to double check

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.

It should work. If your goal is a faster boot time, SATA connection is better and you save some money. Get a lager SSD since it is faster than the smaller ones, at least 250 GB. Good luck.

Yes it I'd expandableWhile the 4 GB is not much it runs Windows 7 just fine. Excellent performance as shipped.

Yes, it should work with both Windows 7 and 8 if the system is up to date. If your system does not recognize it as a floppy disk drive you may have to add it manually or use a generic driver.

I am not sure of a 500GB as I don't have one that size to test, but I have used an old 40GB IDE WD drive and it worked fine.

If youare using win7 or below it will work and there is a diSk included, WILL NOT WORK WITH WIN8,

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

The ad for it states, "Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Mac OS." I have used it extensively with Windows 7, versions Home, Premium, Professional, and Ultimate on Crucial SSDs and Toshiba, Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi and HP HDDs. You should have no problem with Windows 8.1. If the target device on the included USB to SATA cable is not recognized in Windows, then you can boot from the software CD and all drives will be recognized. You just select your source and target drives and proceed with the clone, which takes an hour or two depending on the size of the drives and the amount of data being transferred. Good luck,

Yes. I have had a computer had a 500GB plus a 1.5TB. And another with 2 SSDs which are relatively small volume and a 2TB HD. As long as you have the power and connectors you are free to add in as many of any size as you want.

Maybe. The form factor is ok, but I don't know, if this system can use the drive.

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

It might be, if you have a 64 bit version of Win 7, and change the BIOS to allow for a legacy BIOS boot. It has the new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, so it isn't as easy as it could be. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but Win 8 isn't that bad, I just use the Classic shell, and have the best of both worlds.

Would what work? There is no question that I can decipher. I'm clueless on "WCAT". For what it may be worth to you, my application of the drive is pretty straight forward. I needed a big boot drive, and this one seemed adequate. It is a bit slow when rousing the computer, but thereafter it performs as expected - fast, quiet, and lots of space for additional stuff. Assuming your system can access the drive's full capacity, it should meet any application you might have. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'm sure it is possible. I just put windows 8.1 on mine a few days ago. Keep in mind you will need to buy windows 7.
