PartSurfer maps it to spare P40785-001 (300GB 10K SFF SAS, Basic Carrier).
The Basic Carrier (BC) is what sets it apart. HPE's carrier decoder lists BC for the SFF bays of Intel Gen10 Plus and Gen11 rack servers, including the DL360 and DL380 Gen10 Plus and Gen11, the DL20 Gen10 Plus, DL320 Gen11 and the AMD DL325, DL345, DL365 and DL385 Gen10 Plus v2 and Gen11. Older Gen10 servers use the Smart Carrier, and the same 300GB 10K drive in that carrier is 872475-B21 (spare 872735-001). HPE gives both versions the same ratings.
HPE rates it at up to 195 MiB/s maximum outer-diameter media rate, with 512n sector format.
Typical uses are a mirrored boot or log pair on a Gen10 Plus or Gen11 server, or a like-for-like replacement in an existing 300GB array. The BC siblings in the same Mission Critical column are P53561-B21 (600GB), P28586-B21 (1.2TB), P53562-B21 (1.8TB) and P28352-B21 (2.4TB).
To confirm fit, check that the server's SFF bays use Basic Carriers and match P40785-001 on the drive label when replacing a failed unit.
