Hi. Since I have ordered this, I wanted to know whether it has the drivers for WINDOWS 8.1 or not? Thanks.

It does not require drivers... Just plug it in,boot w8.1, and make sure to ENABLE the drive (google it. It is important)

There are no drivers on the disk when you receive it. You have to reload an operating system to it or buy the cable to clone your current system. I loaded a fresh operating system on mine as I only use it for the operating system.

This is a good question. The solid state drive will not have any software. It will be recognized by Windows and any needed drivers will be automatically installed. Just make sure to go to the SanDisk web site and review any special instructions to install for your version of the windows operating system. I installed mine without any surprises following the instructions. I love my SanDisk. Please understand I am a customer like yourself. Enjoy the speed!

On the box that it is "Windows 8" ready -- you might need to down the latest software from www.buffalotech.com or you may not. Does not mention 8.1 but may work.

Not good. The PC has about 4 drivers missing that are only valid for W8+. I tried it and tried to get drivers, but did not find anywhere. Yes, I hate W8.

I just bought it, plugged it into my Windows 8.1 system and it does not work. I'll write back if I ever learn how to get it to work. It's not worth having to send it back and wait. So, no- it does not work, accroding to MY experience. It is not recognized at all by my system no matter how I try to access or recognize it. It has zero directions for troubleshooting this issue.

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.

Yep. I've used it on both Win7 and 8, as well as 8.1. I haven't yet installed the 8.1 Update 1, but I have no reason to think it wouldn't work on that as well. Just make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

There are some driver updates on their website that I had to install to get it working properly after updating to Windows 8.1.

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.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

What do you mean? Are you asking if it comes with a copy of Windows 8, or if Windows 8 supports it? It does not come with Windows 8, but Windows 8 does work really well on this board. Asus has complete driver support for every feature this board has. The only feature I wanted to be able to use with Win 8.1 and could not was the default drivers for the LucidLogix feature. If you want to use this with 8.1 you have to purchase an update to the driver set direct from LucidLogix website, I believe that was about $50. If you don't care about that feature, then everything works great. I own two of these, running 16gb ram and GeForce 660gtx cards in them, SSD's as OS drives. I have a SandyBridge 2500 overclocked to 4GHz in one and an IvyBridge 3470 overclocked to 3.8GHz in the other one. These are the best computers I have owned to date, and ive built quite a few.

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and it works just fine...but I did have to look on YouTube in order to learn how to install it correctly since it is a little different then the instructions it come with for older forms of windows, but still really really simple and it works great

I ordered the equipment for work, and we are still on Windows 7, so I don't know if it works with Windows 8.1. I hope that's helpful. Thank you.
