It helps you to easily and quickly determine the exact condition of your disc drive, desktop and notebook computer. The publishers have included different kinds of tests that will assist in examining the physical media on your Seagate or disc drive. The tests also have ability to examine the physical media on Maxtor disc and drive, as well as other non-Seagate disc drive. The tool can be used to test the following; USB, 1394, ATA, (PATA/IDE), SATA, as well as SCSI drives.

SeaTools can also be used for DOS tests, SATA or even ATA drives from a bootable CD-ROM or floppy.
