Note: One gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. This software may use information provided by the operating system to display capacity and volume size. The Windows file system uses a binary calculation for gibibyte or GiB (2^30) which causes the abbreviated size to appear smaller. The total number of bytes on a disk drive divided by the decimal calculation for gigabyte or GB (10^9) shows the expected abbreviated size. See this FAQ for more information http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/172191en?language=en_US.
Seagate offers both graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI) diagnostic tools for our storage devices. SeaTools for Windows and SeaTools Bootable for end users are the two most popular GUI tools. These tools support 15 languages.
openSeaChest diagnostics are command line utilities which are available for expert users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various tasks and specific devices. openSeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux and Windows environments.
Linux versions of openSeaChest tools are available as stand alone 32 or 64-bit executables you can copy to your own system. Windows OS versions of openSeaChest diagnostics are also available.
Technical Support for openSeaChest drive utilities is not available. If you have the time to send us some feedback about this software, especially if you notice something we should fix or improve, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you. To report your comments and suggestions, please use this email seaboard@seagate.com. Please let us know the name and version of the tool you are using.
openSeaChest drive utilities support SATA, SAS, NVMe and USB interface devices.
openSeaChest_Basics - Contains the most important tests and tools.
Other openSeaChest "break out" utilities are available and listed below which offer more in-depth functionality in specific areas. These are:
openSeaChest_Configure - Tools to control various settings on the drives are brought together into this one tool. Typical commands, for example, include Write Cache and Read Lookahead Cache enable or disable.
openSeaChest_Erase - The focus is on data erasure. There are many different choices for erasing data from simple boot track erase to full cryptographic erasure (when supported). Be sure to back up important data before using this tool. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. This tool only works on Seagate drives.
openSeaChest_Firmware - Seagate products are run by firmware. Having the latest firmware can improve performance and or reliability of your product. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive. Most products may see one or two firmware updates within the early life of the product.
openSeaChest_Format - Storage products which utilize the SAS, SCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces are able to perform a full low-level media format in the field. The SCSI Format Unit command offers many specialty options to accommodate a variety of conditions and to fine tune the procedure. This complex command deserves its own "break out" utility.
openSeaChest_GenericTests - Read Tests are the original disk drive diagnostic which is to just read every sector on the drive, sequentially. This tool offers several common read tests which can be defined by either time or range. In addition, the Long Generic test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.
openSeaChest_Info - Historical generic activity logs (like total bytes written and power on hours) and performance logs (like temperature) are available for analytical review. Identification and inquiry data stored on the drive is also provided. A view of SMART and device statistics is available when supported by the drive.
openSeaChest_LogParser - Tool for parsing the Scsi/SAS generic logs. Also support for ATA logs (identify, device statistics log, ext comp error log, sct temp log, NCQ error log, power condition log ext Self Test log), With support for Seagates FARM Log and other Seagate Vendor Specific Logs.
openSeaChest_Logs - Several binary logs are maintained on disk drives. These logs are not stored in the user data area. Sometimes these logs are reviewed by support engineers to help analyze event history on the device. These binary data logs are saved to filenames using the drive's serial number and date-time. Some logs are Seagate-specific while many others are common to the interface specifications. Several of these binary logs may be parsed into human-readable form by using the openSeaChest_LogParser utility.
openSeaChest_NVMe - NVMe interface devices tend to have unique commands and challenges. Many of these commands are also unique to NVMe SSD products. This tool gathers the most important commands under one title. This tool is similar to openSeaChest_Basics but for NVMe.
openSeaChest_PowerControl - Seagate disk drives offer a multitude of options to manage power. This tool manipulates the various power modes.
openSeaChest_Security - Various settings are available on modern Seagate disk drives which may be locked and unlocked. These settings may interact with the operating systems and systems BIOS. Options also include cryptographic erase for Self-Encrypting Drives (SED).
openSeaChest_SMART - This tool provides a closer look at the collected SMART attributes data. SMART stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. Short Drive Self Test is included as one of the standard SMART commands. In addition, the DST & Clean test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.
