data does indeed indicate that the drive is functioning correctly, should the failure of the Long Generic SeaTools test be considered proof that there is a problem after all that S.M.A.R.T. I saw another post where someone bought 2 drives off amazon and they both failed the Short Generic Test on one laptop, but it ran fine on another laptop. I didn't find the code when I searched online so I'm not sure what it means. data indicate that the drive is functioning correctly?Ģ. For the Seagate, the Smart Test was fine but the Short Generic Test failed and gave an 8 digit code. I have no idea how to interpret these results (except that the green dots seemingly indicate success), so I don't know for certain if the drive passed or failed.ġ. data of a hard drive, and got the following results: SeaTools is developed by Seagate Tech., which is a powerful diagnostic utility featuring multiple types of tests and scans to measure out the disk drive health. I then downloaded and ran HDDScan, which can apparently find out the S.M.A.R.T. The second (Long Generic) reported (in its words) "Long Generic - FAIL". The first one (Short Drive Self Test) passed. So I downloaded SeaTools for Windows and ran two tests. I have been slightly worried about the possibility of it going out, as I've had it for three years now and it seems to be getting a tad noisier and slower to start up lately (although that could be my imagination). I'll run the Long Generic and see how that goes.I have a 1 TB Western Digital external hard drive hooked up to my computer via USB.

This test has the ability to repair problem sectors that are difficult to read. If you have not done so already, please consider running the Long Generic test on your external drive. Now is a good time to make sure that you have a current backup of your important data. Unfortunately, your Seagate product has failed an important diagnostic test, possibly caused by problem sectors which are difficult to read. Thanks! I tried the Seagate Recovery Services program, that told be my drive was not supported.
