Dave We had one fail and we simply asked IBM to replace it - about 3k GBP (thats inc labour) as I recall. The drive itself is basically a fairly standard SCSI drive encased in some IBM specific stuff. Its also part of a RAID array and I believe the replacment needs to match the others in the array.
It the end, the risks associated trying to source a matching SCSI drive and swapping that out of IBM's specialist casing, plus updating the MP3000 software to let it know about the new drive (not something we are really sure how to do), were not worth the potential cost savings.
