Hi Kylee and list, I bet on each drive, there's a list of supported drives and operating systems. I think somewhere that information is included by the manufacturer. I bet there's an informational sheet somewhere within all the information provided. If this isn't the case, then perhaps a perusal of the manufacturer's website might help. If that fails, then perhaps a call to tech support before buying the drive would be in order. that's what I think. Read the documents and call tech support. Isaac
