They are not compatible.

The single port (80 pin SCSI or Fibre Channel--You'll need to know which 
you're using) are the ones used for the HP hot-swap enclosures.

You should be able to find these drives on Ebay.

If you need more than one then search "SCSI DRIVES LOT".

(Hmmm...Someone has a bunch of 146GB 10K RPM ones at ~ $70 each.  I 
could double the storage capacity on my main array for ~$300.)
