U320 server drives with an adapter PCB drop right in and work great.
However, one does need to check the specs of said drives to make sure they can operated in single ended (8 bit SCSI-1) mode. This is more common with Ultra160 drives, but there are a number of U320 drives that retain backwards compatibility. The 2.5" Seagate Savvio drives * give you plenty of room in a 3.5" drive bay to also mount the adapter.

It also seems to be important that your adapter provides high-byte termination (termination resistors on the unused upper 8 bits of the 16 bit wide SCSI bus). There are a number of threads here discussing the use of these modern drives if you want to have a search and compare notes.

* be sure you are buying a SCSI version, not a Fibre Channel (FC) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) version.
