I skimmed the article, but I could not see this, so I am asking here.
Is there a tool to check the extra data and verify if a drive is or isn't counterfit?

Basically no, if you didn't buy directly from seagate you just can't really know.
Firmware can be updated, labels faked, serial numbers changed.
