i bought my hm160hc from lagoom, and I think they ship internationally, so you should be able to have it shipped anywhere.
Its really a good drive.
The difference in speed between the wd and the samsung is rather small, but the samsung does have the leading edge, with its higher density platter, so I went with it.
If you decide on the WD 250gb drive make sure that your system does not have a LBA error which only allows your system to read 137Gb. If your laptop is older, you may have this problem. The only real way to get around it is to make two 137gb partitions
