I personally wouldn't recommend it.
1. Opening up your ipod would void its warranty.
2. Its not too easy to open up the ipod.
3. It's probablly more expensive to order a 60 gig mini drive then it would be to just get a 60 gig ipod.
4. You run the risk of no longer having a working ipod
In researching this answer you will loose Firewire connection if you replace your hard drive with a generic
The article listed below gives ya a few supplier choices for hard drives that may work with your ipod

Thats a warranty violation. The hard drive controllers are probably for Apple Company only, including the hard drive design. Ask a Apple Ipod service center, just call and ask.
