Does this come with all requisite software and cables etc for windows 7. Or is more needed?

Cables for this come with your motherboard and power supply, it does come with a software disc, but for most drives it is a basic driver for reading and writing. Just like a hard drive, the cables come with the power supply and the motherboard, like I said earlier.

Unknown_I am still with Wn7. However I didn't need any of the supplied software to use the equipment to the level that I wanted (essentially an external usb multi-port). I may not be getting everything out of the piece that I should.

Yes Ronald, it should come with everything you need, it includes mobo screws, thumb screws, standard Phillips head screws for securing SATA drives, and zip-ties for cable management.

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

This should not require any additional software. I do know that it works on the Win7 OS, but have not yet tried on Win8.

NONE....no compatible software is avail for this product for any version of windows, even if you buy the serial cable, ethernet cable or usb cable.

Yes, everything you need is included except for some cable, which is standard and can be purchased most anywhere.

It comes with all the software you need to do anything with the drive. That is if you get the retail box and not the oem version which is bare bones drive.

Well you do need a clean hard drive and computer that is put together to install it! :) I just purchased this, and installed it on my computer that I freshly built with a hard drive that was completely empty. You don't need anything additional except a computer. I would not suggest buying this system, though. Better off going with Windows 7. I've been trying to get rid of my version of this (it can be installed again on another computer) at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Windows-8-OEM-64-bit-System-Builder-/171125918826?pt=US_Operating_Systems_Software&hash=item27d7e64c6a

It comes with Window 7 Pro (64 bits) pre-installed and activated along with some other programs.It would be pretty much ready to use right out of the box.

When I purchased this it was just the drive. All other cables etc needed I either had or bought. Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with Windows 7 startup. No disc needed already installed. Also has a basic excel and Microsoft office, if you want more, you buy it.

it either comes with the CD, or Win7 doesn't need it(pre-installed drivers)... either way i'm using it for my hard drives on a window7 64-bit PC. However it does not work with optical drives(dvd/cd)

There was no hardware (other than the cable shown) or software that comes with this. It was 'plug and play' and works well

No extra software that really is important. Norton antivirus comes with it but it is a limited time free. Everything in the specs for hardware.
