There is no spec for power on hours in Seagate’s own literature, just a yearly write duty load of 55TB. These drives do not spin down in an external enclosure like WD Reds. All the smart data is...

This drive has been used in the external since around August 2017. The price has been $119 or higher most of that time. I doubt it costs them anywhere near that to produce them since this is an...

So does this mean that this drive has 2400 hours of use on it already? If that's the case I should be ok with my new one from Amazon right? Edit: post office was replying to was deleted.

Not really sure what the 2400h/year means but it's not 2400h total. My guess is that worst case it's 2400h x 5 because it has a 5 year warranty. So 12,000h of total usage, or 500 days of on time....
