How do I install the firmware (Win8)? Do I need to reformat the hard drives or will I be able to read existing files?

the drive is not formatted with any version of windows. it is formatted with a run time version of linux. it handles the formatting. the windows 8 machines should see it in the network browser. did you set up user rights?

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

Hey, I found really good instructions online.. It's already formatted in fat32 but it needs to be set up on a laptop first.. After you do the setup you just plug and play. It's been a great storage device so far.. Feel free to get back to me.. Oh yeah, it was on ehow.

It'd probably be best to consult the WD web site. I didn't partition mine, but I did make it bootable.

to you it looks like 1 drive. The firmware on the drive uses the ssd for the most active files. you don't control that. format the partition and load your os. i think you will like it! I am really very happy with the performance; it is very smooth and very consistent.

The firmware is not on drives but on the controller. What matters is the type drive you need for that controller.

It's not an option with this version. You have to wipe the hard drive and install Windows 7 from scratch. So try and save your data off another drive or usb device.

I managed it to install a firmware update in my computer about 3 years ago. Updating the firmware was not what you call an easy thing to do (back in the day). But that was then. Things may have changed today. I suggest you should call "Crucial" to see what they have. That's what I did, but at the end of the day, the problem with my ssd's (my cpu would not see them) was not related to firmware update

Here is a link to a firmware update- Your drive may already have this update but give it a try. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-207DBK

I have a Windows 8 computer and have no problem using it. The hard drive I have in the case is from a Windows 7 computer. No issues and no installation of software necessary.

No the hard drive doesn't work anymore and it's less than a years time. Also wd would not rma the product for me.

I just got one that uses a different chipset than typical USB drives, which registers it as a local disk rather than removable media as part of Win8 certification. You'd need third party software to load ISO images onto the drive.

Yes, you would have issues, if your using win 7,8 it's possible to install the device manually and set systems resources accordingly

you will have to download the driver from the internet [for the latest] or use the included cd rom... its not difficult. standard install. i had no problem...

It should function just as the internal one with the same software, either native Win7 or whatever software you use to read/write. Just select the new drive from Explorer.
