I don't think they are available in Europe yet.
I've been checking all the local stores every week to see if they're in yet but nothing so far, even though they have all the PATA models available.
Annoying since I have all the other parts for my HTPC ordered and the only thing missing is the 160gb Samsung SATA HD

I checked overclockers UK today and they have the SP1614N PATA version in stock (first in UK to my knowledge), so I ordered two of them! I hope the SATA arrives soon.
I have some year old 80GB 5400rpm Samsungs and comparing the figures for noise, the 1614 is quieter! Fantastic, especially when my curretn drives are inaudible!

Wuhoo! I got a reply off overclockers.co.uk:

Thanks for the email,
I will certainly be looking into the Nexus fans and the Samsung HDDs,
Thanks for the info. !

Hi
I have recently purchased several items from you, and was very pleased with the service that I received. I was especially pleased with the speed that you were able to resolve my missing ram heatsink when I ordered a Vantec GPU Cooler.
Since I have been happy with the service that I received, I decided to have a look at your site in view of purchasing a few other bits and pieces. Unfortunately you do not currently list these items. I am a quiet PC enthusiast, most of the items that I purchase have been recommended be a website called Silent PC Review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/). This site has very recently reviewed the new Samsung P80 ATA/S-ATA HDD’s that have come onto the market. These are reputed to be quieter than the Seagate 7200.7 (since Seagate has had to discontinue its acoustic management software due to legal reasons), while also being significantly faster. As you can imagine there are quite a few people after these.
Another new item that has gained a lot of popularity are the new Nexus Real Silent Case Fans, that are reputably better than their Papst equivalents.
In the near future I will be after some of these new fans, and in the coming months will want a pair of S-ATA Samsung HDD’s (probably early next year)
Maybe you would like to consider adding these items to your line up so that more people can enjoy shopping with you J
If you want to look at what your competitors are up to see:

Kustompcs now carry a some Spinpoints, including SATAs!!
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/product.php?subcat=52
Samsung SpinPoint P80 120gb SATA => 97 gbp.
(SATA150 8mb Cache 7200rpm)
Go get 'em guys!
PS Kustompcs aren't bad, used them a few times before. this isn't however a recommendation for this batch, or spinpoints or anything, just a friendly heads-up.
