    Bought this Passport for backup of our PC. I had a difficult time trying to install it. Ended up having the Geek Squad come set it up. They are amazing.

    The jury is still out on this product. I had it installed locally by the Geek Squad, then had three remote sessions with the Geek Squad. Product did not appear to work as advised. After a second session with local Geek Squad, was advised product was working and would update automatically on the hour without any input by me. So far does not appear to do so.

    The product most likely is fine. However the sales person over sold and took advantage of us. For that reason Best Buy and Geek Squad most likely will not enjoy our business very often.

    This storage was something an employee referred me to that it works great well he forgot to mention if I didn’t have a computer to back anything up it would be a problem. So my boyfriend lost all his games and the storage no longer works without a computer to back everything up!
