Be careful during set up..
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to upload video performance for client to have. During the set up process, I didn’t know it was being formatted for Mac only. I have Mac but client has pc. Had so many problems trying to restore the external device that I just gave up and returned it. Will not be buying this brand again.

Geek squad up sold me after damaging my computer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is an up charge a geek squad employee did, as they falsely informed me about my computer. Then damaging it beyond repair, management offered me an open box computer as a replacement for half the cost, then resended that offer to only $400 to purchase a new computer. They would not match the specs of my damaged property. management and supervisors at Best Buy don’t seem to care about their customers only their bottom line of having me purchase new product.

Something I didn't need...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Something I was forced to buy so Best Buy could transfer data from my old laptop to my new one. I already have an external hard drive that is better than this one, but didn't have it with me when I bought my new laptop.

Another person's data on this drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hello, I wanted to leave a review of one of the drives I received. It had another person's personal data on it and was used last by the Geek Squad. My colleague did not look at the data as he had to use it for something else, but we were concerned enough to leave this feedback. Thank you.

Hard to use hard drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was very challenging to set this up. It took me several hours and I wasn't sure if I did it correctly. The paper insert certainly didn't include directions. I used a combination of the website listed and YouTube. It seems to have worked????

Computer Repair a Mystery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The last couple of trips to Best Buy have been less than positive. I got the feeling that I was continuously being given an upsell ALL THE TIME. Had to put my computer in for repairs and was told I needed to purchase this to get information off computer and would be told if everything was ok. NEVER heard anything until repair center called to see if I would approval a $900+ repair bill. OF COURSE, I had no choice ... yes. I still do not know if my information was saved and STILL waiting on something OTHER THAN asking me to pay for something else. I am still in the 4 - 6 week window as was first told, but felt I would hear SOMETHING!!! I am not happy and will investigate other sources for my computer needs as soon as I get my computer back.
