Frequently Asked Questions

Is P63871-B21 interchangeable with P63872-001 and MO001600PXVRU?

Yes — P63871-B21 is the option kit, P63872-001 is the spare part, and MO001600PXVRU is an OEM variant. All are HPE 1.6TB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use FIPS SSDs with Basic Carrier — fully interchangeable in Gen10 Plus and Gen11 supported SAS configurations.

What is the advantage of ordering the option kit (P63871-B21) vs. spare (P63872-001)?

Option kits (B21 suffix) are the standard new-deployment procurement SKU with full documentation and accessories. Spare parts (-001 suffix) are field-replacement designations. For new builds, P63871-B21 is the recommended procurement path; P63872-001 for maintenance replacements.

Does P63871-B21 include Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) capability?

P63871-B21 is FIPS 140-2 validated for cryptographic security, which includes hardware-based encryption. FIPS validation covers the cryptographic module's security requirements. Consult HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus/Gen11 QuickSpecs and HPE Smart Array controller documentation for SED feature activation and key management details.

The HPE P63871-B21 1.6TB SAS 24Gb/s mixed-use FIPS SSD option kit delivers compliance-grade cryptographic security with enterprise mixed-use performance for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11. Order today — in stock at the lowest price.
