No replacement that I'm aware of. If I recall the all the problem is with startup current. Once there spinning all works ok. So if you go this way make sure it's on a UPS and never shut it down. The newer drive with the new recording tech does not spin as many platters to get capacity. So all you have to deal with is startup currents. The old power supplies handled over current pretty good.

Good luck.
