James,
I don't know if there is such a list. Way back, early 90's? I was buying 60 * 2GB drives from HP. If I recall correctly, they were about $2000 each and we had to wait 8-12 weeks for delivery.
I had the opportunity to tear one down, inside was a Seagate drive! The exact same drive that was being sold for $300 down in the lobby at EggHead Software. (Anyone remember them?) The HP salesrep explained it was HP's special firmware that escalated the cost. Maybe, but I started using the cheaper drives from other vendors and never had an issue. Of course it is different now. Raid arrays do require proprietary firmware and support specific sizes. Raid arrays allow me to size the drive any size I want up to 500GB per drive for MPE.
My point being, any drive that has the correct SCSI interface should work. (The operative word being "should".)
