Manufacturer recertified & seller recertified both? If yes then will they be priced same or different. Also, any option for 1-2 years warranty for extra 1-2k like with earlier 10TB drivves?
Yes both, both are priced fairly similarly. But on key difference is that a manufacturer recertified would be replaced with the same hdd whereas the seller recertified would be replaced with either same hdd or a similar hdd of same capacity.
Yes additional warranty can be purchased. Both for 1 year and 2 years price varies from 2k - 4k extra depending on capacity of the drive.

@all please note the drive says Seagate Skyhawk but it might be a different drive altogether. Iāve been told itās Hitachi driveā¦ so wait for 24 hours while i take 1 home and test and get health info. Then we can decide!
Thanks to @@gREen for pointing it out.

There are currently only 3 hdd manufacturers in the world, seaget, WD & Toshiba & as far as I know Hitachi was acquired by WD in 2012 & ceased to exist as an independent hdd brand since 2018.

I couldnāt also find a datasheet for the drive. However there is one hit for this model on a Thai website.
I was holding money for this for 2-3 weeks. Did FD today and you posted xD
QR scan does show it to be 1Tb drive.

it says 1,000GB i.e. 1TB it should be 10,000GB for 10TB
lol, guys wait till Monday late evening, I will clear your doubts. I currently donāt have time as I have a couple of systems to get ready and dispatch them for tomorrow. Once I am free I will check the drive out and updated.
I took it out from the sealed package and saw that it was a rebranded/vendor-rectified drive, I think they do this for the following reasons
1.) Hitachi as a brand is no longer sold, so they possibly reprint labels to a different brand, obviously not done by my vendors, but by someone else they buy from, they therefore give warranty on these up to 2 years.
2.) Hard drives whose labels get damaged or torn out for whatever reasons, may also be rebranded.
After @@gREen pointed it out, I asked my vendor, and he said itās not Seagate but a Hitachi drive, So I only took 1 for testing. I connected to a PC it shows up as an HGST HMH7210A0ALE600 which while searching online looks to be Hitachi UltraStar āArchiveā Enterprise Drive, so donāt go by the label I guess, I will share health and smart information by Monday evening/Tuesday early morning.

It is a drive using Host-Managed SMR technology & is not supported by windows & poor linux support too as per below link.

that might have been true in 2019. Its different now. See this reddit post where people are using 10+ TB drives in linux with btrfs.

Still seem a lot of hassle to make it work considering even basic linux skills already are considered a hassle by majority. There are 10TB non-HASMR drives & their availability is also quite good in general so in my honest opinion, compared to the 10TB seagate barracuda pro sold earlier here this HASMR drive deserves 10-20% discount as majority wonāt be able to use it here or elsewhere. I personally wouldnāt buy such drive no matter the discount because I am not confident enough to make it work despite having some basic experience of running & installing linux but for those who do they can go ahead.
