SeaTools SSD GUI. Graphical dashboard and diagnostic tools optimized for Seagate Solid State Drives. Windows and Linux versions.
Publisher's Description
SeaTools is a diagnostic tool that helps you determine the condition of the disk drive in your external hard drive, desktop or laptop computer. The installation needs dot.NET 4 as a precondition. If dot.NET 4 is not installed, it must be installed before. Sounds like your best recourse would be to pull the hard drive and test it in a Windows Machine, or dual-boot Windows on your Mac. Software that's actually useful, like Seatools, which does far more than Smart Monitoring, and is far better than the sub-standard disk utility built into Mac. Hello, I have a SeaGate Firecuda I am wanting to run SeaTools on and have tried to follow these directions but never seem to be able to get the USB to show up as bootable and it doesn't show up if I option start to the boot manager either.

The decadent manufacturer tell you if your drive is failing already or it will fail! Seagate drives have the worst failure rate in their last 2 desktop generations. Barracuda 10 and 11 are just garbage.
Seagate would replace their smart test for just a basic model checker, one line only:
If HDD = (Barracuda 10 or Barracuda 11) and (HDD=Still_online) then it WILL FAIL on random (1min-6months).

Sorry to disappoint you, but as of Christmas Eve 2009 (aka 24 Dec 2009), Seatools 1.2.0.***1*** was out, not 1.2.0.*2*.
1.2.0.2 is a *newer* release - b/c as of Christmas / version 1.2.0.1, Windows 7 was not *officially* supported. Hence the version bump, to allow for Windows 7 Official Support.

No S.M.A.R.T. attributes shown, just OK or not OK.
This 'new' release was released roughly an year ago.

I am an avid fisherman and use these SeaTools all the time ;p. I especially like the fish gutting utensil. -- joke
To previous reviewer: The official Microsoft developer recommendation is for applications to install dependencies into their own program files. This prevents them from over-writing other versions of those DLLs in the system folder. Of course, WFP fixes this issue for most system modules.

Seems to do what is says. But I take a point off because it installed the MS Visual C (2005) AGAIN. Why can't programs check to see if this is installed first? This is just like the days when old versions of Direct X would install over teh op of newer ones.

SeaTools is a program used to diagnose and test the performance of Seagate and Maxtor hard drives. You should use this utility if you've detected failures and problems in your HDD operation or you want to check your device current state.
What is suitable for the testing:
- SCSI, PATA and SATA internal hard drives;
- external hard drives connected via a USB or FireWire.
SeaTools versions: for Windows and DOS
There are two versions of SeaTools:
SeaTools for Windows:
- with a graphical interface
- and the program is available only for Windows
SeaTools for DOS:
- command line utility which runs under DOS
- and can also be used with any Windows version,
- it's pretty convenient to launch it from a boot disk in order to restore your HDD performance (we've already told you how to burn such disk)
Despite the fact that the DOS version of SeaTools has more capabilities, in this review we'll discuss the GUI version of the program for Windows 10.
Where you can download SeaTools from
For safety reasons it's better to download SeaTools from the official website in 'Downloads' section at the link SeaTools for Windows.
3 main features of SeaTools
The main purpose of SeaTools utility is to detect errors in your hard drive performance and find out whether it should be replaced on a warranty.
Seatools For Mac Os
Tests are provided in order to check the current state. As a result of it, detailed information on its performance and the status of each test is displayed.
Seagate Seatools For Mac Os X
One of such tests is Acoustic Test which allows you to detect problems, if your hard drive makes suspicious sounds. For such purpose SeaTools accelerates and stops an HDD so that you can hear how it works and check if it makes “unhealthy” noise.
Seatools For Mac
Another feature is the repair of bad sectors on SATA hard drives and external USB flash drives. If bad sectors are found after testing, not only SeaTools will display errors, but it will also offer you to fix them (replace the damaged blocks with backup ones). Thus, this bad sector will no longer be used by your operating system.
We should also highlight the reading of SMART-attributes. SeaTools reports on the status of your HDD as well as on the characteristics of your drive. This information will be useful for checking the status of your hard drive.
Seagate Seatools For Mac
Conclusion. SeaTools is an effective and free tool which will be useful for diagnosing and monitoring your HDD status. It's wise to use this program at least occasionally in order to prevent a sudden disk failure along with a loss of data.
