I don't see any "sold by Amazon". Aren't those all OEM ?
I think Kozak means "Shipped By" Amazon, and they changed it to reflect that.
I've purchased a few of these over the past months, and the regular price I was paying is $304-$312. You can check the warranty status on Seagate's site, and every drive I've received from SabrePC and HyperHawk have had valid warranties.

We bought 5 of these a month ago, along with 5 14TB WD external drives, which we shucked. Configured each set in identical servers as mdadm RAID5 arrays (XFS filesystem). I have used the WD 14TB drives before, excellent results. But I was amazed by how much faster the Exos drive array is. I do not know if the WDs have switched to SMR or some sort of hybrid, but comparatively speaking they act like it.
I don't know anything about this reseller in particular.

Have you ever compared the WD Red Pro with EXOS as their pricing are very close but cache is different (512Mb vs 256Mb)?
Legitimate question. Not because of the capacity, but also because of the speed. 16TB data on HDD takes hours to read, so maybe only useful for torrent.

Amazon is showing the Seagate 18tb drives at $327...shipped by Maestro Technology.
