I really like this drive. The speed seems only pretty good, not great. But everything else seems stellar about this product. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this drive need to be partitioned in order for Vista or W7 to recognize it?

You should be able to plug it in and start copying data to it immediately with any version of Windows, Vista or later. It comes already partitioned (with one partition) and formatted with NTFS.

Can I use this interchangeably between windows vista and windows 8.1?

I want to back up all my files from an old PC with Windows Vista into this external hard drive. Will I be able to pull out the files using a new laptop with a Windows 8.1 readily or do I need to do any reformatting?
The drive comes formatted with NTFS which is supported on both 8.1 and Vista. Unless you have a very exotic security setup, you should be able to move the drive seemlessly between the two machines, much as you might a memory stick. Just try to remember to save and close all your files and to use the "eject" menu option in explorer, before unplugging from the machine.
