It is, however you need to purchase the software if you plan on running as a Blu Ray player. This is hardware only. I ended up returning it because it would not consistently play my Blu Rays. I would not recommend.

Probably will work fine. Only kept unit for a couple of weeks as Windows8 drove us nuts.

I have Window 8. According to the product system requirement, it is compatible to Window 8/Window 7/Vista/XP.

I am using it with Windows 7 with no problem but the instructions do not mention Windows 8 compatability. Startech.com should be able to help you. Colin

Yes it is. I am writing this post from the same machine, running a Boot Camp install of Windows 8.1. It is compatible, but I do have some minor glitches, such as some applications not handling the high density display properly, resulting in tiny text. Most things however do work fine.

According to the box for my Buffalo DriveStation Axis, it is compatible with Windows 8

It says on the box that it is compatible with windows 8. The only thing you need to do to install is close all programs and run the install. Program will let you know if you need to do anything else. Just follow the instructions in screen.

Yes, it is. I was leery about buying it with my Windows 8 computer but it works just fine.

I use Windows 7 so I can't really say from experience. I assume it would be compatible with Win 8 since it says so on the official page - just have to install the drivers that it comes with.

Don't know. I have windows 7 and have heard that windows 8 is a can of worms. I wouldn't make any compatibility assumptions.

Yes it is compatible with Windows 7 and 8.. There is a new version though - Sonar Pro. It is also now available via a monthly charge instead of paying all at once or you can still buy it outright.

Yup! Check out one of the images for the box and you'll see the win 8 compatibility sticker

Sorry, I don't personally know. I have seen it advertised elsewhere as "Win 8" compatible. The Rosewill website should have all the info you need.

Yes, it is written on the box that Windows8 is supported. I am using it for Windows7.

No. This device is compatible only with specific Windows Operating Systems.

Yes, it is Win8 compatible. The only problem I foresee is that you will need more resources than what they claim on the product itself. I own several machines with several different OS', anything from Win ME, WinXP, Vista, 7 and 8. If you want to use it on Win8, or higher, you will need more resources than normal.

I am not sure about windows 8 compatability. I have not found the software with this unit to be very friendly toward any mircosoft operating system. I am currently running mine with Windows 7 and it is doing ok but I have ocassional problems. The sound quality is great, however, when things are operating correctly.
