Are there external HD products that work with the backup of windows 7 using USB 3?

My WD Elements fails with USB 3. Other brands work? Aparently Windows 8 fixed this bug but that doesn't help me. Microsoft responds to this?

Hi LydiaMolen,

Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community. According to the problem description with USB 3 external hard drive does not work.
