789153-B21 is a 480GB SATA SSD made for servers with non-hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays. HPE's matrix lists it in its non-hot-plug SFF tables as "HP 480GB 6G SATA 2.5in VE NHP PLP SSD", drive model VK0480GEPQP, with drive assembly number 789169-005. PartSurfer's option text is "HPE 480GB 6G SATA Read Intensive SFF 2.5-In Non-Hot Plug Solid State Drive".
Some listings abbreviate the type as NPLP, which is not HPE's term. HPE's own abbreviations are NHP for non-hot-plug and PLP for power loss protection, and they appear together in the matrix name above.
The spare is 789360-001, which PartSurfer describes as a 480GB non-hot-plug SATA SSD, Read intensive, 2.5-inch SFF, 6Gb/s interface, value endurance, supporting power loss protection, with the compatibility note "Supports select Gen9, Gen8, Gen7". The Gen7 mention is the notable part of that note.
PartSurfer lists only two records for the spare, both product names for the drive, with no server model. The generation note is therefore the only fit statement; "select" means HPE limits it to certain platforms, and the target server's own documentation has to confirm it.
Drive-model sharing: the same VK0480GEPQP model is used in the hot-plug Smart Carrier option 789145-B21 and in a quick-release PLP option. The deciding difference is tray and hot-plug support, not the drive.
Hot-plug equivalent: 789145-B21. Another non-hot-plug 480GB option: 792256-B21. More in the HPE SSD range.
