728735-B21 is a 240 GB SATA solid-state drive in the Value Endurance (VE) class for 2.5-inch bays. HPE's service-parts record maps it to spare 728765-001, described as a hot-plug SSD with a SATA interface, SFF 2.5-inch, 6 Gb/s transfer rate and VE class, supporting Gen7.
The record says Supports Gen7, not Gen7 only, and gives no later generation. PartSurfer's where-used list for the spare holds three entries, all SSD listings (the standard drive, a remanufactured version and a variant), with no server model named. Match your server by generation and drive cage rather than by a model list.
Practical checks: confirm 2.5-inch SFF bays, a tray that carries the drive (the spare record states no carrier), and a controller that supports SATA at 6 Gb/s. There is no quick-release or SmartDrive wording in the record.
Compare it with 717969-S21, the 240 GB VE drive that is listed for Gen8 and beyond in a SmartDrive carrier. Those two share a capacity and class but are separate spares for separate server generations. The 480 GB drive from the same Gen7 group is 728739-B21.
