    needed a tote for new computer that doesn't have drive. Asking about new software and transferring items from old PC. Sales person offered the option. I did not come into store looking for item. But was impressed it was something I would have came back to get. Very appreciated! Great salesperson!

    This was the only external hard drive they sold so I didn't really have a choice, but it does it's job. I have had no issues, so I am happy with my purchase.

    Great Disc Drive

    New Microsoft computer came without a disc drive. Still have disc with information that is needed. Purchased the Dell Slim Plug andPlay disc drive from Best Buy because they carry top quality/brand name items at very reasonable price. Orders are processed immediately so the wait time for delivery is minimal. Can’t beat Best Buy. Think of them first before going elsewhere.
