Is there any actual difference between -B21 and K21

Looking at two SKUs that have virtually the same partnumber. What/if any is the actual difference?

872479-B21 (HPE 1.2TB SC SFF)
872479-K21 (HPE 1.2TB SC SFF)

The B21 seems to be used with the Proliant servers and the K21 with Storage (D3710 etc). But is there anything stopping the use of a B21 in a Storage and viceversa?

Hi,

Good question, BTW these are Multivendor drives.
There are other links with similar question and answer.
