Seagate SeaTools is an official tool from hard drive manufacturer Seagate that helps identify potential problems with the drives in your computer, or the external drives that you occasionally connect to your computer.

Seagate SeaTools examines the physical surface of your drive, looking for problems that can cause your drive to malfunction.

There aren’t many basic tests you can do, but you can increase or decrease the intensity as needed. In addition, you can view all the information related to the disk on the screen (model number, serial number, firmware version, SMART, etc.) and run advanced tests that delete stored information. .

Finally, Seagate SeaTools also links directly to Microsoft system tools you might not even know are installed on Windows, such as malware removal tools and hard drive management tools.
