I have 73Gi and 181Gi drives in my U60.  No problems yet.

Mine has used 4G, 18G, 36G, 50G, 73G (10K rpm), and 181G at various times.  
The only thing that ever raised my concern was that a second 73G 10K drive 
was running at up to 60C temperature.  The other one installed concurrently 
was running in the low 40's.  I was expecting no more than 50C on both, based 
on experience with the same drives in U5 and U10.  Perhaps heat from one was 
being conducted via metal or air to the other ...
