Will a Basic Carrier drive fit a Gen10 server?

Only the models that list it: HPE lists Basic Carrier drives for the DL360 Gen10 and DL380 Gen10 as well as the Smart Carrier, and for most Gen10 Plus servers, while the DL325 Gen10 Plus and DL385 Gen10 Plus (v1) list Smart Carrier drives. Check your server's drives page.

What does -H21 or -K21 after the part number mean?

The same drive for another server family. In HPE's words: “A -B21 suffix may be replaced with -H21 and -K21 to support across different server family lines.” The fit check on this page finds the -B21 listing for an -H21 or -K21 number.
