What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 871291-B21, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.

A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 871291-B21 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the HP warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will 871291-B21 work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
