    Excellent First Shopping Experience

    I just came to the U.S. for a stay, and during my travels I took a lot of photos and videos. After a few months, my phone storage was no longer enough. Prices in the U.S. are much higher than in my country—many products cost 50% more, sometimes even double. That’s why I was really glad to find this external hard drive priced about the same as back home. With the discount, it was even cheaper, and it’s also from a well-known brand I trust. This was my first time shopping on Best Buy, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Thank you!
