Here's how:
If you find a qualifying lower price online, call 1-888-BEST BUY and direct a customer service agent to the web site with the lower price, or when visiting a Best Buy store, one of our employees will assist you.
On qualifying products, Best Buy will then verify the current price to complete the price match.

Seagate Backup Plus, easy backup for your digital life on your computer and the cloud
The Seagate® Backup Plus desktop drive simplifies backup for consumers who want to protect their entire digital life locally, in the cloud or from social networks. Via the Seagate Dashboard, use the Protect function to set up a one-click plan or customize your scheduled local backup. Keep multiple copies of your files in case disaster strikes.
With the Save feature, user-generated content can be backed up from your favorite social networks. Many people now use their smartphones to capture priceless moments. While these devices are handy and readily available, storage is not their strong suit. Capture a memory, post it on a social networking site and let the Seagate Dashboard automatically back up any content posted. Even if the file gets accidentally deleted from the device, another copy can be waiting.

Posted by: CaptainClean from Monterey, CA on 05/21/2013This thing is just awesome! I use external hat drives instead of my main hard drive now. Really fast, really efficient. Really worth the price. I store so much needed data on this and take it with me everywhere I go. 500,000 songs and 20,000 video files? No problem. Only downside, not USB powered.

Posted by: HockeyShark13 from Oakland NJ on 05/20/2013This is a great product. 3.5 T for less than $150 cant be beat. And the best part about this product is that it is both Mac and PC compatible WITHOUT having to reformat.

I have stored almost 2.5 TB of hi-res music files; stored both as FLAC and WAV; and it works perfectly. When connected via my pc laptop to a my DAC; the sound quality is simply first class

Fantastic Value for this Huge Amount of Space
5
Posted by: NikkiR from Northern VA on 05/17/2013Needed back up space for many movies, games, and photos. This drive had exactly what I needed. The price at $129.99 was absolutely fantastic and at least $30.00 lower than any price I could find at any other retailor. Works easy with quick set up.
