    The service I received was great. The geek squad team did end up retrieving most of the data on my hard drive.

    Great Service, mediocre results

    After $99 for a 'diagnostic/analysis' fee on my failed HD (which lets face it, they hook it up to a machine that does all the work), another $150 towards 'Tier 1' data recovery, three weeks later, they 'recovered' only about 65 GB of data out of 200+ GB on my HD. A more in depth 'Tier 2' data recovery option would have cost an additional $300 with no promises. 'Tier 3' would cost $500-800 or more. Frankly, I felt it was a huge rip off / financial risk for poor results. Not to mention, who even knows if they're telling you the truth or just trying to get you to spend a fortune in recovery fees.

    Data recovery costs pretty high for something they have basically recovered. Invented me to get drive returned and shop around. Immediately offered $200 savings from local recovery company.

    I was totally amazed at the amount of files they were able to recover from my damaged external hard drive. A lot of important data would have been lost permanently.

    I used to be satisfied with GEEK Squad service. But this time it's almost more than 2 months and no reasonable response and my computer still at large at Bestbuy. I am really upset by the lack of regular updates and headship about the status of my Computer.

    I got what I expected, Unfortunately, my item evaluated for repairs was not returned to me in the condition I gave it to Best Buy. It had tape holding it together, which wasn't needed when I turned it in.

    In store technicians were not able to restore data from my external hard drive. They offered send the HD to their Lab for $100 (or so) and, if they retrieve the data, the total charge is going to be $1000 (or more, don't remember). Before give the "go", I asked their definition of "restored data". My point is, if my pictures and music (thousands of) files are restored, I was willing to pay the $1000. Technician say yes, so I signed the contract and my HD shipped to Kentucky (I believe). When I received the (details) agreement contract via e-mail; it clearly said that "...if ONE file is restored, Bust Buy considers the data retrieved and will charge me the $1000+ for the data retrieving service...." That was a no-go and immediately asked Best Buy to return my damaged HD and refund the deposit. Good that I read the final agreement!!
