Does VMware list individual hard drives on their HCL? I searched and couldn't find an answer to this. As well, I couldn't find any hard drives on various hcl searches, so I'm assuming the answer is no.

Vsphere rarely ever accesses a hard drive directly. Instead, disks are accessed through RAID/SAN controllers, so there's not a real need to include certified hard drives on the HCL. -

It's all about the controller - ESXi needs a driver for whichever one you have. Disks are disks are disks...VCP2 / VCP3 / VCP4 / VCP5 / VCAP4-DCA / VCI / vExpert 2010-2012
