Depends how you read that line .. ;)

With basic adapters it can be used with almost any type of storage device, including SATA drives and the newest AHCI/NVMe PCIe SSDs.

I'm still curious as to why one would need Win 10 x64. Does the stabilizer call home to Deepspar every time you use it? If it enumerates as a standard USB mass storage device, then I should be able to use it on an old DOS machine with UASP drivers. So what gives?

Because it comes with 64 bit software perhaps?

I haven't checked but it works fine without internet access.

Out of the box it presents itself as a small drive, maybe you could get this far in DOS, I dunno. You need to install driver to get the system to see drives you plug into the stabilizer. You control settings using 64 bit software.

Maybe this is one of those devices that needs its firmware ("driver") to be downloaded via USB every time it starts up? Cypress has an EZ-USB product that works this way.
