Everyone needs a program that contains various tools that can carry out series of tests to determine the exact condition of the disc drive in external hard drive. To this end, a program like Seagate SeaTools is not a bad idea since it has an impressive number of features and tools to help you achieve your aim.

What’s Seagate SeaTools?

SeaTools for Windows has replaced SeaTools Online and PowerMax. SeaTools for Windows is a comprehensive, easy-to-use diagnostic tool that helps you quickly determine the condition of the disc drive in your external hard drive, desktop or notebook computer. It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate or Maxtor disc drive and any other non-Seagate disc drive.

SeaTools for Windows tests USB, 1394, ATA (PATA/IDE), SATA and SCSI drives. It installs onto your system. SeaTools for Windows is completely data safe.

Once it is launched, the application is able to automatically detect the installed drives (both internal and external), together with the model number, the firmware revision, as well as their status (which tells you if the device is ready to be tested or is still undergoing identification).

Any downside?

A lot of improvements have been made since the last version was released, and it seems to be more stable.
