Not that generic.. the micro code on the disk controller is very picky about what it will allow or not. If you planning on going down to Sam's Club and buying a few drives, I don't think you will have much luck.
Used drives are numerous and easily purchased just about anywhere including the world's largest flea market(ebay).

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?
