The USB connectivity is also frequently praised. While some users found the included software less than intuitive, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern.

    The product does what you would expect but since there are no instructions for how to download or upload one has to waste time finding out how to do those things.

    When the backup said it was complete, I checked the content and only some files were copied; many others were not. I repeated the process and it still missed files.

    Looks nice and very convenient. I use it a lot for video storage and have noticed frequent errors. Not sure that it's a fault of the drive or not though.

    We can only hope for the best when storing our precious memories on a portable hard drive. They always seem seem to fail when you're counting on them the most

    I bought this so I could transfer my files from my old windows xp computer to the new one. It will not convert windows xp files!! I couldnt get it to work and neither could the Geek Squad guy in the store. I tried calling the Geek Squad on the phone but they wouldnt answer my question unless I paid them a further $149. Plus they claimed they didnt work for Best Buy. Wierd???

    The item would be good for other uses. I purchased for use in my car, but it didn't work as expected. Would recommend for different use.

    Your salesman was arrogant and disrespectful and I made a complaint but no one called or apologize. Your store at Jefferson City

    This product was purchased so the Geek Squad could back up my data and fix my computer. I cannot recommend a product I don't know.

    The salesperson didn't tell me that I would have to format it for a IOS operating system. Otherwise once formatted it was all good.

    Not For Single Source Backup

    It stopped working after 1 week, meaning, the computer didn't see the drive when plugging it in. If I had precious memories in there as a single source backup I would be immensely upset. It is small and portable, however if unreliable, what does it matter?

    Haven't checked to see if all is accounted for. I would hope that it did what it's supposed to do as an external drive.

    ssd is much faster - though if sped is not as important or you'd rather not spend too. much this is the one to get

    I can't seem to pull up the files I saved or backed up to this device. When I try to do so, I get all sorts of gibberish on the file header, or I get messages telling me they are protected files to which I have no access. I didn't use passwords or anything else when backing up... a user's guide would be real helpful- not one I have to dig up online, but one I can hold in my hands.
