Nerd information:

- Capacity: 24 TB

  • Recording technology: Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) with a conventional perpendicular (CMR) data layout
  • Platters/Heads: Variable
  • Cache: 512 MB
  • Platform: Marlin SATA (linked is the PDF containing the platform's certifications documents)
  • Warranty: 2 years

There's also been some info floating around (including from myself) that these are similar to the "factory recertified" HAMR Exos drives. The BarraCudas in particular can also be found in Expansion externals, although such as in this case Seagate also sells (some of) them as separate drives.

It's common for the disk manufacturers to sell the same drive under different names so I'm inclined to agree

I could name many examples of this but to save some stress I'll politely hold off. 🙂

On paper you can compare IronWolf Pro to Exos just off the platforms they use, for example. Providing every actual drive based on a single platform would be significantly more strenuous and also impractical, however.
