789161-B21 is the HPE 960GB 6G SATA Read Intensive SFF 2.5-in SSD, the version without a hot-plug carrier in the name.
PartSurfer lists two spares, 789364-001 and 851192-001. Both records describe a "900GB" multi-level cell (MLC) SATA SSD with a 6Gb/s transfer rate, 2.5in SFF, value endurance and power loss protection. The option and the where-used entry ("HP 960GB 6G SATA RI 2.5in SSD") both say 960GB, so the 900GB in the spare text looks like an HPE typo; this page uses 960GB.
HPE's SSD QuickSpecs removed 789161-B21 and the SC version 789155-B21 as obsolete in version 33 (23 October 2015), so this is a short-lived SKU.
Read Intensive is HPE's lowest endurance class, at or below 1 DWPD, meant for read-heavy work such as web servers, social media and boot/swap. Remaining drive life can be read through HPE SmartSSD Wear Gauge, which needs Smart Array firmware 5.0 or later and a controller on HPE's list.
Fit check: 789155-B21 is the same drive in a hot-plug smart carrier, and 789163-B21 is the non-hot-plug 960GB RI drive.
