Will this drive work with any window and is this real 160MB/Second? Please let me know soon if that is true?

I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to provide a technical answer but I can say that it works right out of its packaging on my Windows 7 PC and a 289MB video will save to it in about 11 seconds and a 341MB folder containing 65 photos in 7 different subfolders will save to it in about 27 seconds, and this is all using a USB 2.0 port on my old PC. Probably be even faster using a USB 3.0 but it's fast enough for my everyday use.

Yes, my friend had a 1546 and use this drive and it work perfectly, just double check so you're know what your buying.

Yes. The drive will run at the maximum speed if your machine up to USB 3.0.

I never use Sandisk Ultra but the Seagate 600 boot my window 8.1 within 10 second and close in 5 second. I think there are a lot factors to improve window running beside ssd hard drive. However I am satisfied with Seagate 600. I have been using for 3 months without any problems.

I've used a program called "HWinfo" on this specific external drive and it says it is a Hitachi at 7200RPM's. I recommend the Fantom brand just because of that honestly, Hitachi just doesn't make bad drives. PS. They are also known as HGST and are now owned by WD or Western Digital.

I've had no issues with the speed of the unit. It really depends on the drives you use.

This drive is NOT fast. If you want fast, buy the 8Gb micro Cruzer. I have both, and bought the 16gb because I love the no-cap-to-lose, and I love the 8Gb speed. But the 16bg is so much slower that Vista reports that Readyboost cannot use it. (The 8 gb said "Vista Readyboost" on the package, and I assumed that naturally the 16 gb would be fine. It's not, and doesn't say it is on the package.) After Vista tested it, it stated that it was too slow to be used by Readyboost, the somehow marked the unit and the option to use Readyboost no longer appears when I plug it in.

yes, i have windows 7 w/o usb 3.0, the drive works fine it just doesn't have 3.0 speed

It is compatible with all windows versions. It works better when you format it to NTFS instead of FAT. Hope you have a USB 3 port so you can take advantage of its full speed.

I think it only works in fw400 speed.I recommend you to buy a regular usb HD instead of this despite it comes with FW port,because fw400 and usb2.0 wont differ much

Gsaint, Wile I am unable to test the Ready Boost on my Windows 7 (Hardware is fast already), The ADATA 16GB in question will have no problem working with Ready Boost. However I don't recommend this drive for that use because it is a slower 3.0 Drive. It will work but their are better dives out there for the pure use of Ready Boost. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions I'm willing to help :)

I have the 256 model, same drive. I use it as a bootable backup drive. It works. It's a little sluggish compared to a firewire connection.

I have not seen the actual specs, but it is slow , probably 5400rpm . This drive is good for back up, not immediate access time. That costs more , you know. DR

Not being completely familiar with the internals of the device. I am also unable to find a perfect picture of the internals. What i will say is this drive is a standard laptop drive and if that is what that device uses then it will work. You will need to format the drive with windows in some way if you dont have a means on the device itself.

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

Should work. As I do the same thing within my own house with flash drives. My desktop is win7 / USB 2.0, my Laptop is win7 / USB 3.0. I've never needed to re-format my flash drives and I do get the speed increase from the USB 3.0 Laptop. I can imagine, with the proper operating systems involved: Portable HDDs should't be any different.

The drive works well. USB 3.0 is faster only if the computer being used is too. The drive is slightly smaller than WD, Toshiba, etc. But it is not significantly smaller or faster than a like WD. I think WD comes in 2TB for about the same price.
