SeaTools is a graphical tool for managing hard drives and SSDs on Windows systems. It displays drive information such as model, capacity, disk usage, temperature, and lifetime, monitors drive health, shows SMART attribute and identification information, maintains an event log, and performs firmware updates. The Health tab runs quick, extended, and long self-tests, while the Advanced, Erase, and Utility tabs provide drive configuration, secure erase, and bootable media tools.
Use this Windows version of the SeaTools GUI to diagnose hard drives and monitor SSDs. SeaTools supports all drives, though not every feature is available for non-Seagate drives.
