    I purchased this external backup to protect my files. It is so easy to use. I backup once a week and feel secure that important files will always be accessible. Great product. Very affordable.

    Not what I expected

    While it was nice to have someone else scour my computer to make sure that I got all my files in spite of maybe less than stellar file structuring, I was not expecting to have all my files dumped into a single folder. Yep. All just planted on my desktop in a "geek squad transfer" folder. So to truly get my files situated, I had to manually put them back into folders on the new PC. Really pricey for the equivalent of someone popping all my files onto a thumb drive and then dumping them into a folder on the new PC.

    We needed a new laptop that was lighter and faster than our old one. We have a geek squad account and our rep found us a good buy that met our needs and transferred all of our data to the new machine. The service was excellent and done efficiently. We highly recommend the Geek Squad service for all your technology needs.

    The experience was good not great. We've had up and down experiences with the geek squad. We've used there services for years so I guess that is to be expected. This time they rushed me a little to much when I went to pick it up. I had questions and I didn't get all the help I needed this time. Now I have to just keep calling in to ask questions. I would recommend NOT letting them rush you. Calling in is VERY time consuming and the wait time is lenghty.
