If you stick to the recognised brands like Transcend, Kingston and the like, you should be fine...

Even under those you get slow ones. Anything between 2 to 10 MB/s transfer. My one Kingston Data Traveller 2.0 does 12,6 MB/s while the other same model does only 7 MB/s. Al my others are way slower.
Some new ones do up to 30MB/s and even higher.

Nice. Any descent enclosures to go with that?

Edit: I see they've got a Samsung HDD - SATA-300 - 32MB Cache - 750GB for R1262.

Yea USA Only.

Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.

LandmarkPC has told me that their cards will arrive tonight and will be at my huis by friday at the very latest (depending on the courier). Their card is R50.00 more than digital addictions but their customer service is amazing and I'll have my card in 2-3days ftw
