How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Great for back up.

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Works great, just make sure you have a spare outlet handy. Also be careful to keep it somewhere that gets unimpeded air flow as it gets HOT when under load.... Not enough to damage it if it has air, but if the vents are blocked I imagine it'd toast itself quickly.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow are all these new models sold out yet have no reviews? Have there even been any purchases of these yet? When are they coming back in stock?
Asked by FamilyGuy0395.
- A:Answer Best Buy has a bad habit of listing items that aren't for sale yet, and an even worse habit of listing items that have no concrete release date. That is the case with these drives - They are sold out because they aren't out yet, and we don't know exactly when they'll be out (but should be soon.)

Q: QuestionCan this backup hard drive be hooked up to two computers at the same time on the same network?
Asked by SpartyGirl.
- A:Answer I am assuming an external drive is being discussed. (I only see the question, not what drive the question is for.) What I do is connect it via USB3 to one PC. Then share the drive (either the entire drive, or individual directories) on that PC. Then it can be seen by other PCs on the LAN. (Assuming Network in Explorer is showing the share, not a given in Windows 10. Might be forced to manually use Map network drive.) I use Macrium Reflect Free to backup my PCs. I point the backup destination to a directory on the shared drive (\\shared directory name). Macrium Free cannot "browse" to a network location, so I copy that location and paste it into a text file on the pen drive I use to boot Macrium. Then I copy/paste from the text file (instead of typing it in) when starting the backup. Obviously both PCs (the one being backed up and the one where the backup drive is connected) need to be running. If you mean physically connecting the drive via USB to two computers at the same time, via USB hub or otherwise, not possible. I wanted to do something similar with a non-disk device (A/V mixer) and learned it wasn't possible. Another option is a NAS (Network Attached Storage). People "shuck" external drives to put into a NAS. I don't shuck and don't own a NAS, but I think some also have USB3 ports on them. I don't know how that works exactly. Then the backup destination would be the NAS on the LAN without needing a second PC.
