    I was only able to get one successful backup in the time I have owned the drive, which is 1 Month. The backups keep halting, if I restart the backup halts within seconds

    I have high praise for Best Buy staff for the efficient means of picking up the product (curbside) and returning it. I'd have no hesitation about using that process again. The fact that the product just simply didn't work for me has nothing to do with Best Buy.

    I had a bad experience with my drive. I returned the item, purchased another one, and still it did not work. I ended up going with a game drive from Gamestop instead.

    I'm guessing the product was defective. My desktop was not detecting the device and there was beeping sound coming from it. The product was returned.

    Lost about half of my iOS library I saved onto this. Weird how only a portion was saved after it said it completely saved everything. Then they want $ to restore what was lost.

    Good High Capacity Drive for Backup/Gaming Console

    Posted .

    I won't dock any stars, because the performance is good, but the BBY product page states a data transfer speed of "up to 5gb/sec." This would be wonderful, considering that would be faster than any SSD on the planet, and this isn't even a solid state. From home use, as well as from Seagate, the maximum data transfer rate is about 120Mbps. Just be aware of that.

    Worst Instruction Set

    This might be a great device once you have it set up, but the instructions are ridiculous. Not for non-techies like me.
