    Not what I was expecting!!

    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!!

    This is my first truly GEEK SQUAD experience. It is the real deal. In a world of many giving promises and few really coming through, the Geek squad has UNDER PROMISED AND OVER DELIVERED. I am blown away by the service that has been provided. They have made an impossible situation look easy. Thank you for making this my best experience ever. Definately will reccomend.

    Service was decent but I went there to get music data transferred over and that data was apparently partitioned. I didn't end up getting the music, and was refunded half the cost.

    Geek Squad was able to recover all my lost data. However, the price seems very high for what does not seem like a labor or time-intensive process.
