A good price for a 2.5" portable drive from a reputable maker - If you haven't got USB3.0 yet then this is perfect as it can be updated later to USB3.0. Typically, for $19.00 for a USB3.0 lead and interface electronics plug from Dick Smith http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XM1239/seagate-goflex-cable-…
Be nice if they showed freight on their webpage but I agree that so long as it is not ridiculous freight like COTD you are probably right - as I have a couple of USB3.0 leads bought to update earlier purchased 500GB USB2.0 drives I can simply swap the leads as needed. Thus this deal suited me :)
No details on their web site. are u sure this one comes with the usb3 kit?
Well it says
Seagate STAA1500301 FREEAGENT GOFLEX, 1.5TB, USB3.0, 2.5E", BLACK
I remember last time, one seller selling these saying usb3 => usb3 compatible.
Yeah, but the Seagate can do FW800 and USB3 with a simple cable swap…bought one of these from OW for $179 yesterday. Very impressed with it!
USB2.0 version is $124 pick up here -

or noticed this coupon code "FREE10" still works (for me anyway) for $10 off …so $124 delivered
and don't forget topbuy.com.au $5 voucher for new accounts :D
I think you will find that TopBuy coupons/vouchers are blocked for sale of daily specials. At least that is what happened to me :(
opps …sorry didn't know …that sux! :/
I should get rid of the old 640M (not USB) in a drawer of my desk.
