In my experience, as a former employee 2011-14, the Compatibilty list did not get a high priority with Engineering.
Therr were budgetary issues, ie buying each make and model, and Engineering time associated. So for disks not on the list, you are relying on someone in the community trialing
in a situation where data is not risked, and sharing the results.
