EDIT: gotta click on "Other sellers on Amazon" and then it's no longer eligible for Prime.
EDIT2: Also, price trackers show that this can be had for as low as about $260. I think I'll wait for a better deal. Shouldn't be long.
I ended up buying them from BH Photo for $350 with a warranty from Seagate.
Paired this with another X16 14TB that was shucked from a "Expansion Drive". Paid $200 from BH earlier this year just before prices started going "Chia Crazy". In hindsight, wish I had ordered one more at the time. The two drives are running in RAID1 on a SansDigital USB enclosure attached to my network via a Raspberry Pi 4. Not the fastest or quietest but runs 7x24 and has been rock solid, no problems.
Now looking for a reasonably priced quality 4-6 bay NAS but haven't seen a good deal since Prime Days. Probably will have to for Black Friday. Hopefully the 14TB will be even lower then so I could then have a proper RAID5 configuration.

There is a scam going around where the "seller" submits an advance RMA warranty claim to Seagate using your name, address and a stolen/fake credit card. Seagate ships the drive to you, but they never get the old drive it was supposed to be a replacement for in which case they would attempt to charge the credit card for the full cost of the new drive. When that fails, the warranty is likely to be voided.

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING FROM SEAGATE BRAND".
It looks legit to me.
Before ordering, I was concerned about whether this was an OEM drive. If there is a problem, believe worst case is Seagate limits warranty to one year (mine was manufactured in July 2021). Even at that, felt it was a better option than playing "shuck roulette" where you don't really know what you are going to receive and warranty is voided automatically after removing from the case.
Saying that, wonder why the name change to HyperHawk???
The name "Seagate Brand" prevented me from buying drives from this seller a few weeks ago because it seemed like someone trying to pass himself off as the manufacturer. I'm not surprised the name was changed.
I'm reassured to hear people are not getting OEM drives with limited or voided warranties from this seller. Repped.
