There is always a chance that it may be compatible, but in most cases with samsung a county match is needed.
Check preamp.

I have had a high success rate with samsung drives just matching the last 5 of the P/N barcode
In yourcase P/V FS
I also ignore country but try to match drive size & model
Ive also had the odd one work from differant models but match the last 5 of the barcode
hope this helps

Material mixing (the "FS" code) is mandatory and also the last digits of barcode. Confirmed.
Samsungs are not so "picky" for HE in my stats, expect some hiccup when imaging because of different adaptives, unless you have a workaround for this problem. Anyway the density is not that high, so with high probability the imaging will be rather smooth.
