List of supported hard drives?

Is there a list of Backup Exec supported backup hard drives? I've been having a ton of trouble with a client of mine and his backups. I get a different error every night. I want to give different hard drives a shot. I was told there is a list here somewhere, but I can't find it.
Thanks

Symantec maintains Hardware compatibility list for each version of BE but unfortunately it does not 

include list of Hard drives.

Well, like I said, I pretty much get a different error every day. I have been able to find all errors on this forum, so I didn't think reposting would be necessary. But, just for giggles:

2/2/2012 Error E000FED1
2/1/2012 Error E0008497

I have also gotten a ton of erorrs dealing with shadow copies, driver errors, and communicating with Exchange. It is seriously a different problem every day.

Thanks.

These errors may not be related to hard disk. I would suggest you to 1st run live update and patch up 

Backup Exec.

If the disk is not on the HCL, you can test its B2D functionality with
