Ebay, particularly GoHardDrives, or sometimes you'll find new drives from random sellers.
I also check ServerPartDeals. Drives are pricy these days, don't sneeze near your NAS.
Edit: I'm not sure if they ship internationally or not, however.
2/3 of the drives I received from GoHardDrive failed within 2 years and all I got was a pre-bubble refund.
Oof. ๐
They do, but there may be better local alternatives, since the shipping can be quite high.
