iSeries Disk Drives - Generic?

I've had a thought that I'm sure won't have a good answer, but I've got to
ask it:

Is there something special about the SCSI drives that IBM puts into the
iSeries.  Specifically, my 730 has the large cages that surround the drive.
The drives seem to be 80 pin hot-plug drives.

I've played with the idea of taking a cage apart (I have many spare 4GB
arrays) and putting a larger drive in.  Has anyone attempted anything like
this?
