Like I said, I would be more than happy to see the evidence. Then I would be more comfortable buying these drives instead spending more money on the HGST drives.

Any thoughts on ripping it apart and throwing it into a pc as an internal hard drive? Running low on disk space but I don’t really want to take up space on my desk.

I only need to see evidence that the drive is "based" on the enterprise HGST drives. I see no evidence of that other than 1 "regulation" number that no one knows what it means.
