      For those that don't want to buy lots of paper, I bought a Bushells Tea Bags Pack of 100 for $5.59

        Why buy 100 Bushells when you can have 250 Victoria Breakfast Tea for $6.00

        • oz-dxer on 16/05/2011 - 13:59

          Yep, i got the 250 Victoria Breakfast Tea for $6.00.
          Lets hope they are drinkable though
          i also got a box of paper too as it seems my kids "eat" it it goes so fast.

  • nfr on 16/05/2011 - 11:37

    Given USB 3.0 power, does this 3.5" need external power supply?

    • lplau on 16/05/2011 - 11:50

    • ozdavo on 16/05/2011 - 13:26

      3.5" drives require both 12v & 5v power. USB only provides 5v, regardless of whether is USB2 or USB3. FYI USB3.0 does provide a hight wattage, but the volts stay the same.

      Then you need to buy a 2.5" drive. Which will be smaller but more expense (and probably slower)

    hmmm, I just bought it along with paper to get the free delivery, but I found out you can play that stupid boxing game to get a free $20 voucher, if you play the game first and then pay with the voucher its only 35.50 along with delivery.

    Hope it works for anyone who hasnt chosen the paper option =)

    • Breadie on 16/05/2011 - 23:19

      For those who don't see it, the game is at staples home and its under the tab win a free trip to LA

      • citybargainhunter on 16/05/2011 - 23:35

        Thank you! I played the game and code it game me was "". I used it and it deducted $20 off the total. So only $35 delivered, sweet as!

        edit: removed the code, since on the invoice it says "20 Voucher - Vouchers can only be used once per customer".

      I cant believe that i hunted high and low on google for a staples coupon, only to have it right in front of me.

  • fLaMePrO on 17/05/2011 - 11:19

    Dam, missed out on the $20 off! Says sold out upon trying to add to cart :(

    Got my Dad to buy one, but he's just realised USB3 is yet to reach Mac OS X. You can buy expansion cards, but these only work for specific drives.

    Anyone know more on this?

    • blackrider89 on 17/05/2011 - 11:25

      I reckon still ok coz I tried and reached the confirmation of payment hassle-free?

      P/S: If still available, try the code "GAME20". U guys don't need to waste time playing the game coz he code would be the same for everyone.

    • lbft on 17/05/2011 - 13:14

      USB 3.0 drives are backwards compatible with USB 2.0, they'll just run at USB 2.0 speeds instead.

      Some USB 3.0 hard disks come with a USB 3.0 card but cards are available separately. USB 3.0 PCI-E cards can be had on eBay for less than $20. Dunno about OS X drivers for them, though.

      • fLaMePrO on 17/05/2011 - 16:46

        Yeah, I've told him the drive will still work. But the main selling point was the faster speeds, which he won't be able to get :(

        Still though, it's a great price. I know about the PCI cards, but yeah drivers are the issue. I'm sure there'll be a solution for Mac OS's at some point down the track though.
