It should. I just tested it on my Windows 8.1 machine without issue. If you are having connect/disconnect issues, it may be that the dock doesn't play nicely with your USB chipset. Did you try the eSATA connection (if your computer has an eSATA port)? Or it could be a failing HDD and not an issues with the dock/USB chipset. Any drive 2TB or less should work without issue. Win 8.1 should have no issue addressing HDDs larger than 2TB.

I've tried neither, can't see why it wouldn't. I'm having a little trouble putting the HD's in it at the moment!

No, mine will not work with Windows 8.1 or 8 , I had to use my old windows 7 computer for it to be recognized and they give me no support for windows 8

I'm using it with Windows 8.1. It'll work but it will tell you it needs to download some software i.e. drivers from Microsoft first.

Hello, this I don't know. I know it works fine with windows 8, with 8.1 I can't answer. I don't have the 8.1. I'm sorry I can't be more help. Have a blessed day! Deborah

While Windows 8 is not listed, it should work with Windows 8.1 I briefly tested it and it required the disk in the drive to work.

Yes I am using it with Windows 8.1. Just make sure to download the software from Microsoft after installing so it works right.

Yes it will work with windows 8.1 the drivers are included but you might just want to go to the asus website to make sure they are up to date.

I have not tried this unit with Windows 8.1 but I don't see a problem. I should connect very easily to 8.1. Windows 7 Pro had no problem recognizing the drive.

No, it would not work for me. Something about an incompatible driver or something. The disc that was included was useless. I could not get satisfactory interface with Win8.1.

I used Windows 8.1 but I the cable would work with any operating system. The compatible software can be downloaded.

I had problems with it on both win 7 and 8. Tur ns out the firmware in it is not that great. If you use a newer hdd it should work but older hdd do not work. The one I had a probkem with was a toshiba 80 gig.

As far as I know it will work. If Win8 supports external drives, then it will work.
