For the samsung x360 I brought , I think it is good to know how difficult you can find a 1.8" hard drive. I think it is a drawback for this machine. It is unlikely to find a 7200rpm hard drive, also none over 200GB.
Any suggestion on those comment?

otherwise I d have to return the machine in order to prevent any futher huge spending on the hard drive part

you can get solid state hard drives in the 1.8" formfactor. They will be small and expensive but they should be faster than normal platter harddrives.

It looks like with the advent of the SSD not many places left are selling the spinning hd's in the 1.8" size.

If you can wait, prices of ssd's will drop considerably in the future.
