The HPE EF0450FATFE is a drive model code for a 450GB, 15K rpm, 3.5 inch SAS hard drive running at 6Gb/s. HPE shipped this model in more than one kit, and resellers list it under ProLiant options 516816-B21 and 652615-B21 as well as the EVA M6612 option AP871A.
Buyers looking for EF0450FATFE are usually replacing a disk in an older ProLiant LFF server or an EVA P6000 shelf, where 15K drives were chosen for fast response on databases and line-of-business applications. The drive: 450GB, 15,000 rpm, SAS 6Gb/s, LFF.
The EF0450FATFE is available in New or Refurbished condition from Euroland IT Store, subject to current stock.

EF0450FATFE names a specific HPE build of a 450GB 15K LFF disk. On its own it does not say which carrier the drive sits in. That comes from the HPE option and spare number on the same label: 516816-B21 (spare 517352-001) for ProLiant G7 and earlier, 652615-B21 (spare 653951-001) for ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 SmartCarrier bays, or AP871A (spare 583717-001) for the EVA M6612 enclosure.
Why does this matter? A drive in the wrong tray will not seat in the bay, and an EVA expects its own firmware. Matching the full set of numbers is the surest way to get a drop-in replacement.
SAS is backward compatible, so a 6Gb/s drive such as the EF0450FATFE can work behind a 12Gb/s SAS controller in a server, running at 6Gb/s. That said, a single spinning disk cannot fill a 6Gb/s link anyway, so the slower interface does not hold this drive back in practice. Its performance comes from the 15K spindle, which keeps rotational delay low for small random reads and writes.
Where you should be careful is mixing drive types inside one array. Keep a RAID set to drives of the same speed and similar capacity, and match a failed 450GB 15K disk with another 450GB 15K disk rather than a slower or very different model.
New EF0450FATFE units suit sites with a rule that only unused parts go into production systems. Details of the cover for new drives appear on the listing.
A refurbished EF0450FATFE gives a sensible, lower-cost fix for a degraded RAID set in an older server or EVA. The product page states the refurbished grade and warranty.
Before ordering, check your server or array model and all numbers on the drive you are replacing, then tell us which version you need.
When a 15K disk fails in a server that still does its job, replacing that one drive is usually the quickest and cheapest way back to full protection. A like-for-like swap avoids rebuilding the operating system, re-licensing software or migrating data under pressure. It buys time to plan a proper refresh on your own schedule.
When you do plan that refresh, look at the workload first. Many jobs that once needed a set of 15K LFF drives now fit on a pair of SSDs, with lower power draw and far quicker response. Until then, keeping a spare EF0450FATFE on the shelf means the next failure is a ten minute job rather than an emergency.

SAS is backward compatible, so a 6Gb/s drive like the EF0450FATFE can run at 6Gb/s behind a 12Gb/s controller, provided it is in the correct carrier for your server.
Depending on its carrier, it is listed for ProLiant G6 and G7 servers, ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 servers, and HPE EVA M6612 enclosures.
Refurbished keeps older systems running at lower cost, while New suits strict unused-parts policies; availability of each varies.
The EF0450FATFE product page shows the warranty attached to each condition.
Yes, delivery is free to the UK mainland on orders over £100 + VAT.
