These are probably pulled or surplus drives with no Seagate warranty. I am not even sure what the return policies are.
Not worth it at this price unless your use case is to write once and keep in an off-site storage. But do some thorough stress tests before deploying for that purpose so you can return to Amazon as defective product received if any errors crop up Otherwise, you may be SOL.
In general, I would never buy hard drives from unknown third party retailers unless it is such a bargain and you are not going to depend on it for any critical use.

SMR, so writes can be very slow, not for RAID
