Welcome to Seagate's SeaChest NVMe diagnostic software.

This User Guide file contains important information about SeaChest NVMe.
Please read this entire file before using this software.

SeaChest is a comprehensive, easy-to-use command line diagnostic tool that
helps you quickly determine the health and status of your Seagate storage
product. It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your
Seagate, Samsung or Maxtor disk drive.

Tests and commands which are completely data safe will run on any disk drive.
Tests and commands which change the drive (like firmware download or data
erasure or setting the maximum capacity, etc) are limited to Seagate disk
drives (this includes Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie). Be careful using
SeaChest because some of the features, like the data erasure options, will
cause data loss. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.

If this is your drive, you should always keep a current backup of your
important data.

Important note: Many tests in this tool directly reference storage device data
sectors, also known as Logical Block Addresses (LBA). Test arguments may
require a starting LBA or an LBA range.  The predefined variable 'maxLBA'
refers to the last sector on the drive.  Many older SATA and SAS storage
controllers (also known as Host Bus Adapters [HBA]) have a maximum addressable
limit of 4294967295 [FFFFh] LBAs hard wired into their design.  This equates to
2.1TB using 512 byte sectors.  This also means accessing an LBA beyond the
2.1TB limitation either will result in an error or simply the last readable LBA
(usually LBA 4294967295 [FFFFh]) depending on the actual hardware.  This
limitation can have important consequences.  For example, if you intended to
erase a 4TB drive, then only the first 2TB will actually get erased (or maybe
even twice!) and the last 2TB will remain untouched.  You should carefully
evaluate your system hardware to understand if your storage controllers provide
support for greater than 2.1TB.

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

Utility Arguments
=================
	-s, --scan
		Scan the system and list all storage devices with logical
		/dev/sg<#> assignments. Shows model, serial and firmware
		numbers.  If your device is not listed on a scan  immediately
		after booting, then wait 10 seconds and run it again.

	-F, --scanFlags [option list]
		Use this option to control the output from scan with the
		options listed below. Multiple options can be combined.
			ata - show only ATA (SATA) devices
			usb - show only USB devices
			scsi - show only SCSI (SAS) devices
			nvme - show only NVMe devices
			interfaceATA - show devices on an ATA interface
			interfaceUSB - show devices on a USB interface
			interfaceSCSI - show devices on a SCSI or SAS interface
			interfaceNVME = show devices on an NVMe interface

			ignoreCSMI - do not scan for any CSMI devices
			allowDuplicates - allow drives with both CSMI and PD handles
			                  to show up multiple times in the list

	-d, --device [deviceHandle | all]
		Use this option with most commands to specify the device
		handle on which to perform an operation. Example: /dev/sg<#>
		CSMI device handles can be specified as <error<#><#><#>>
		To run across all devices detected in the system, use the
		"all" argument instead of a device handle.
		Example: -d all
		NOTE: The "all" argument is handled by running the
		      specified options on each drive detected in the
		      OS sequentially. For parallel operations, please
		      use a script opening a separate instance for each
		      device handle.

	-i, --deviceInfo
		Show information and features for the storage device

	--llInfo
		Dump low-level information about the device to assist with debugging.

	--SATInfo
		Displays SATA device information on any interface
		using both SCSI Inquiry / VPD / Log reported data
		(translated according to SAT) and the ATA Identify / Log
		reported data.

	--testUnitReady
		Issues a SCSI Test Unit Ready command and displays the
		status. If the drive is not ready, the sense key, asc,
		ascq, and fru will be displayed and a human readable
		translation from the SPC spec will be displayed if one
		is available.

	--fastDiscovery
		Use this option  to issue a fast scan on the specified drive. 

	--activateFW
		Use this option to issue the command to activate code that was
		sent to the drive using a deferred download command. This will
		immediately activate the new code on the drive.
		You can use this along with a --downloadFW & --downloadMode to
		automatically issue the activate command after the download has
		completed.

		WARNING: Firmware activation may affect all LUNs/namespaces for devices
		         with multiple logical units or namespaces.

	--checkPowerMode
		Get the current power mode of a drive.
		On SCSI devices, this will only work if the drive has
		transitioned from active state to another state.

	--transitionPowerState [new power state]	(NVMe Only)
		Use this option to transition to a specific power state.
		WARNING: Transitioning the drive to a non-operational power state
		         may make the device stop responding. The operating system
		         may or may not block this transition. It is recommended
		         to only use this option for operational power states
		HINT:
		  Use --showNVMPowerStates to view the supported states
	--downloadFW [firmware_filename]
		Download firmware to a Seagate storage product. Use only
		Seagate authorized firmware data files which are designated
		for the specific model drive. Improper use of this option may
		harm a device and or its data. You may specify the path (without
		spaces) if the firmware data file is in a different location.
		This option will use auto mode by default to choose the best method
		for updating the drive firmware. Use the --downloadMode option to		specify a different download mode.

		WARNING: Firmware updates may affect all LUNs/namespaces
		         for devices with multiple logical units or namespaces.

	--downloadMode [ auto | full | segmented | deferred | deferred+activate ]
		Use this option along with the --downloadFW option
		to set the firmware download mode.
		Supported Modes:
			auto - automatically determines the best mode to use to
			       perform the firmware update.
			full - performs a download in one large
			            transfer to the device.
			segmented - downloads the firmware in multiple
			            segments to the device. (Most compatible)
			deferred - performs a segmented download to the
			           device, but does not activate the new
			           firmware until a powercycle or activate
			           command is sent.
			deferred+activate - performs a deferred download and
			                    automatically acitvates it for you.
			                    Similar to how a segmented download works
			                    but uses a separate activate command. This
			                    is the recommended mode that "auto" will
			                    select when possible for maximum compatibility
			                    with Windows 10 and later operating systems.

		WARNING: Firmware Updates may affect all LUNs/namespaces for devices
		         with multiple logical units or namespaces.

	--firmwareSlot/--fwBufferID slot#
		Use this option to specify a firmware slot (NVMe) or a buffer ID (SCSI)
		along with the --downloadMode (SCSI) or --activateFW (NVMe & SCSI) options.
		If this option is not used, a value of zero will be used instead,
		which means the drive will automatically select the slot number.

	--fwdlSegSize [segment size in 512B blocks]
		Use this option to specify a segment size in 512B blocks
		to use for a segmented or deferred download. This option
		will not affect an immediate download (full buffer at once).
		The default segment size used is 64. Larger segment sizes
		may be faster, however they may also be incompatible with
		controllers or drivers in the system. Smaller values are
		more likely to be compatible, but also slower.
		Use this option if the default used by the tool is not
		working correctly for firmware updates.

	--getFeatures  [ help | list | # ]
		Use this option to list the NVMe features
		Supported Modes:
			help  - prints the descriptions of all
			        the features
			list  - lists raw values of all mandatory
			        features supported by device
			#     - feature number will print the 
			        humanized details

	--getNvmeLogPage   [ error | smart | fwSlots | suppCmds | selfTest | # ]
		Use this option to get the NVMe log pages
		Supported Modes:
			error   - lists the valid entries found in the
			          Error Information Log.
			smart   - lists information found in the 
			          SMART/Health Information Log
			fwSlots - lists currently active Firmware slot
			          and Firmware Revision in each slot.
			suppCmds - lists the commands that the controller
			          supports and the effects of those commands.
			selfTest - lists the status of any device
			          self-test operation in progress
			          and the results of the last 20 device
			          self-test operations.
			#       - option to get the log page using
			          a number

	--getTelemetry [host | ctrl]
		Use this option to get the NVMe Telemetry data for a device.
		Use the --telemetryDataArea option to control the amount of 
		data collected. 

		Supported Modes:
			host - get Host Telemetry
			ctrl - get Ctrl Telemetry


	--telemetryDataArea [1 | 2 | 3]
		This is a sub-command which defines the amount of data 
		collected by the --getTelemetry option. Data Area 3 is assumed 
		if this option is not used. 

		Supported Data Area.
		1 - get minimal telemetry data
		2 - get telemetry data additional to data area 2
		3 - get telemetry data additional to data area 3 (default data area)

	--listSupportedLogs
		Displays a list of all supported logs by this device type.

	--onlyFW [firmware revision]
		Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided
		firmware revision. This option will only do an exact match.

	--clearPciErr
		Use this option to clear correctable errors.

	--poll
		Use this option to cause another operation to poll for progress
		until it has completed.  This argument does not return to the
		command prompt and prints ongoing completion percentages (%)
		 the final test result.  Full drive procedures will take a
		very long time.  Used with --sanitize, or --writeSame (SATA).

	--progress [nvmformat]
		Get the progress for a test that was started quietly without
		the polling option (default). You must specify a test you wish to
		get progress from. Ex: "--progress dst" or "--progress sanitize"
		The progress counts up from 0% to 100%.

	--extSmartLog
		Use this option to Extract the Extended Smart Log Attributes.

	--logMode   [ raw | binary ]
		Use this option with others options such as --getNvmeLogPage
		and --deviceInfo to show a buffer output or to
		create a binary file.
		Supported Modes:
			raw    - prints the raw buffer on stdout
			  
			binary - writes data to a file with device
			         Serial Number & time stamp

	--tempStats   
		Use this option to get the NVMe Temperature Statistics

	--pciStats   
		Use this option to get the NVMe PCIe Statistics

	--showNVMPowerStates	(NVMe Only)
		Use this option to display a device's supported power states.
	--showSupportedFormats
		This option will show the supported formats of a device.
		These can be used to change the sector size or 
		used with a format operation. On SAS, this is the
		supported block lengths and protection types VPD page. (SBC4
		and later) On SATA, this is the sector configuration log. (ACS4
		and later) If the device does not report supported sector
		sizes, please consult your product manual.

		WARNING: Customer unique firmware may have specific requirements that 
		         restrict sector sizes on some products. It may not be possible to format/ 
		         fast format to common sizes like 4K or 512B due to these customer requirements.


Data Destructive Commands
=========================
	--nvmFmtMetadataSet [ xlba | separate ]	(NVMe Only)
		Use this option to specify how metadata is transmitted to
		the host system.
		Options:
		  xlba - metadata is transferred as part of the logical block data
		  separate - metadata is transferred as a separate buffer
		Note: Not all devices support specifying this.
		If this option is not provided, the NVM format will
		reuse the current setting.

	--nvmFmtMS [ # of bytes for metadata ]	(NVMe Only)
		This option is used to specify the length of metadata
		with a requested logical block size. The device must
		support the combination of logical block size and metadata size
		or the format will be rejected by the device.

	--nvmFmtNSID [all | current]	(NVMe Only)
		This option changes the NSID used when issuing the NVM format
		command. This can be used to control formatting an entire
		device or a specific namespace if the device supports specifying
		specific namespaces for a format command. Not all devices support
		this behavior. This has no effect on devices that do not support
		targeting a specific namespace and will format the entire device
		If this option is not given, the format will be issued to all
		namespaces by default.

	--nvmFmtPI [ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 ]	(NVMe Only)
		Use this option to specify the protection type to format the
		medium with.
		Note: Not all devices support protection types.
		If this option is not provided, the NVM format will
		reuse the current setting.

	--nvmFmtPIL [ beginning | end ]	(NVMe Only)
		Use this option to specify the location protection
		information in an NVM device's metadata.
		Note: Not all devices support specifying this.
		If this option is not provided, the NVM format will
		reuse the current setting.

	--nvmFmtSecErase [none | user | crypto]	(NVMe Only)	(None | Clear | Clear, Possible Purge)
		This option is used to specify the type of erase to perform
		during an NVM format operation. All user data will be inaccessible
		upon completion of an NVM format, no matter the erase requested.
		Options:
		  none - no secure erase requested (previous data will not be accessible,
		         however the media may not have been erased by the controller.)
		  user - requests all user data is erased by the device. (Clear)
		  crypto - requests a cryptographic erase of all user data. Note: this mode
		    is not supported on all devices. (Clear, Possible Purge)

	--nvmFormat [current | format # | sector size]	(NVMe Only)
		This option is used to start an NVM format operation.
		Use "current" to perform a format operation with the
		Sector size currently being used.
		If a value between 0 and 15 is given, then that will issue
		the NVM format with the specified sector size/metadata size for
		that supported format on the drive.
		Values 512 and higher will be treated as a new sector size
		to switch to and will be matched to an appropriate lba format
		supported by the drive.
		This command will erase all data on the drive.
		Combine this option with--poll to poll
		for progress until the format is complete.
		A data sanitization compliant with IEEE 2883 Clear requires the --nvmFmtSecErase
		option to be provided. Without this option the controller
		may not erase all user data and substitute returning zeroes
		for performance instead.

Tool Usage Hints
================
See Sample Output examples below.

First, run the SeaChest -s option to determine what /dev/sg? or PD? device
handle assignment lines up to your disk drive. This option will also show you
other details about the drive including the current firmware revision.

Linux:
Vendor     Handle       Model Number       Serial Number     FwRev
ATA        /dev/sg0     ST94813AS          3AA043KP          3.03
SEAGATE    /dev/sg1     ST1000NM0011       ZAA15VAS          SN03

Windows:
Vendor     Handle   Model Number        Serial Number     FwRev
IDE        PD0      ST94813AS           3AA043KP          3.03
SEAGATE    PD1      ST1000NM0011        ZAA15VAS          SN03

You can use SeaChest -s --onlySeagate to limit the display to just Seagate.

All utility arguments will require you to identify the specific drive by
providing the sg or PD device handle (-d, --device).

Lin example, SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg1 --shortDST --poll
Win example, SeaChest_Basics -d PD2 --shortDST --poll

You may combine multiple tests with a single command line.  For example,
in Linux, SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck runs both identify and
SMART.  In Windows, SeaChest_Basics -d PD0 -i --smartCheck runs both
identify and SMART.

Multiple device handles can be given by adding -d /dev/sg# for each additional
handle.  Devices are processed in sequential order.  For example, in Linux,
SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -d /dev/sg3 -i runs identify on these two
devices.  In Windows, SeaChest_Basics -d PD0 -d PD3 -i runs identify on
these two devices.

Caution: All device handles may be specified.  However, great care should be
taken to fully anticipate the consequences of running a command on all storage
devices in a system.  For example, a command to erase data on all drives could
be catastrophic or exactly what you want. The shortcut to select all devices is
-d all.  Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.  Along with the
designation for all devices, you can narrow the tasks to specific types of
drives by using the --onlySeagate, --modelMatch and --onlyFW filters.

If the task is an OFFLINE command like format unit or short DST, meaning that
the drive works on the task in the background and the tool quickly returns to
the command prompt (there is little or no I/O to the system), then you can
expect the system to run normally. If the task has high I/O to the system like
a sequential read of all sectors on the drive, then you can expect the system
to slow down with each additional device.

The discussion above is about starting SEQUENTIAL tests, or one after the
other.  When the task does not return to the command prompt for a very long
time, then you have a few options to run tests in PARALLEL, also called
simultaneous, in other words all at the same time.  One way is to start
different drives in different Terminal windows, if available.  There are other
more sophisticated methods using parallel processing, for information about
these methods please see the information at this link:
https://github.com/Seagate/ToolBin/tree/master/SeaChest/parallel_testing

Tests which take a very long time to complete or erase all user data on the
drive will require a longer command line argument than indicated in the --help
output to the screen.  This approach is taken to eliminate the possibility of
accidental data loss or the commitment of long test times. The longer command
arguments are similar to -I-understand-this-command-will-take-a-long-time or
-I-understand-this-command-will-erase-all-data.

Tests which alter the firmware or erase user data on the drive are limited to
Seagate-only products which include Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie.

Advanced SAS installations may use dual ports.  These are listed as Port 0 and
Port 1 on the device information report. When both ports are active, each one
may have a unique /dev/sg designation.  The scan option may indicate that there
are two drives in the system with the same serial number.  Dual port
installations will also report two different Worldwide Numbers (WWN).

Windows Only Usage
==================
All Windows version tools support finding CSMI devices and talking to them like
you would a normal device.  The scan output will show all drives it detects
ONCE. CSMI device handles have a structure like csmi:<controller>:<port>:<lun>.  
If a drive has both a PD? and csmi:?:?:? handle, then SeaChest will show the PD
handle instead of the CSMI handle.

When drives are in a RAID, the PD device handle is usually not available and
the CSMI handle may provide an alternate way to talk to the drive.  Just
because a device has a CSMI handle doesn't mean it is part of a RAID.

If you want to see both handles, add --scanFlags allowDuplicates to the command
line.  If you don't want to see any CSMI devices, add --scanFlags ignoreCSMI to
the command line.  SeaChest_Info -d csmi:?:?:? --csmiInfo is useful when
troubleshooting CSMI device handles questions.
=========================
Linux General Usage Hints
=========================
Remember that Linux file names and command line arguments are cAsE SeNsiTiVe.

Display a file listing with the Linux command: ls -lah

The tool will require root privileges to run using either sudo or su commands.
Also, verify that the tool has executable rights.

A dot slash is a dot followed immediately by a forward slash (./). It is used
in Linux to execute a compiled program in the current directory when it is not
a built-in command or found in your path.

For example, ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll
or, sudo ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll

Shut down the files system and remove the power with the command:
poweroff

See previous screen history with the key combination:
Shift+PgUp or Shift+PgDn

Save a log file by redirecting the screen output to a text file by adding space
&>test.log at the end of your command line. Choose your own file name. To
append the screen output to an existing log file use >>test.log.

To save a log and display results at the conclusion of the tests, you can use
the "tee" command. Tee command writes to the STDOUT and to a file.
For example,
SeaChest --echoCommandLine -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck | tee -a mySeaChestLog.txt

Display a log or text file with the Linux "less" command: less myfile.log
Press the letter q to quit displaying the file.  Similarly, you can easily
read the Seagate License agreement by piping the output to the less
command with SeaChest --license |less

Display a list of sg (SCSI generic) devices with the command:
cat /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg*/device/model
or
ls /dev/sg*

sg devices include the following interfaces: SATA, USB, SCSI (SCSI, SAS and FC)

Add the command word 'time' on the same command line before the SeaChest
command to see how much time it takes to run a test.
For example, time ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll

When drives are not detected by SeaChest
--------------------------------------------
The problem is that the sg driver isn't loaded on the system on boot.  You can
test if it is loaded by doing "ls /dev/sg*" and see if anything shows up. If
nothing shows up then the SG driver is missing (which is required by
SeaChest to issue commands).

You need to do "modprobe sg" as root to load the sg module (since it wasn't
compiled into the kernel), then you will get sg devices that we can scan and
find. Once you run the modprobe command and sg is successfully loaded, then you
can re-run "ls /dev/sg*" and see SG device nodes. SeaChest tools should
then be able to find devices once again.

How to control the amount of runtime kernel messages
----------------------------------------------------
When testing more drives than a system can hold, careful use of host adapters
and hot-plugging batches of drives (but never to direct motherboard
connections!) can help speed the process.  The Linux operating system will
display various system error messages, or none, when storage devices are
powered down and exchanged with the next drives.  The amount of information
contained in the OS error messages can be reviewed using the Linux utility
command "sysctl kernel.printk".  The default setting is defined by the
particular distro.  Tiny Core Linux, for example may set "4 4 1 7".  To hide
hot-plugging messages try "3 4 1 7", to increase the messaging to include
device details like model numbers try "6 4 1 7".  The command to set is 'sudo
sysctl -w kernel.printk="6 4 1 7"'.  See man sysctl - "configure kernel
parameters at runtime" for more.

Tesing storage devices on the USB and Thunderbolt interfaces
------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes, when testing a storage device, it is more convenient to attach it as
an external drive to the test system. In the case of SATA drives there are very
many SATA-to-USB 'bridge' adapters available.  The quality and range of command
'passthrough' support for these adapters varies greatly.  Our tools will
attempt to work through these adapters.

If your notebook has a Thunderbolt interface connection then you may be able to
test a wide range of devices.  External Thunderbolt expansion systems provide a
PCIe slot in a chassis that can hold a SAS, NVMe, or SATA host adapter. The
host adapters would have cables that go out to your test bench where you would
provide the drive and an external power supply for the drives. Thunderbolt 2
expansion systems work in Linux by default. Thunderbolt 3 expansion systems
need to be enabled in the kernel with boot time options before it will be
recognized by the Linux operating system. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/thunderbolt.html for
information about how to activate the interface.

===========================
Windows General Usage Hints
===========================
The tool will require Administrative privileges to run.
Also, verify that the tool has executable rights.

Remember that the command line arguments are cAsE SeNsiTiVe.

Save a log file by redirecting the screen output to a text file by adding space
&>test.log at the end of your command line. Choose your own file name. To
append the screen output to an existing log file use >>test.log.

To save a log and display results at the conclusion of the tests, you can use
the powershell "tee" command. Tee command writes to the STDOUT and to a file.

For example:
powershell ".\SeaChest --echoCommandLine -d PD1 --smartCheck | tee -append mySeaChestLog.txt"

Setup for Windows
-----------------
The SeaChest Utilities Setup places all of the files at "C:\Program
Files\Seagate\SeaChest" and adds an icon on the Desktop.  Clicking the icon
will open a Windows command prompt in Administrator mode at this location.
From there you will need to type the full command line for the tool and device
and options to run the test you require.  See the various SeaChest Help
documentation for descriptions and examples of the various commands.

Manual Launch for Windows
-------------------------
An individual SeaChest utility for Windows cannot be launched by just
clicking on the file name. If started that way, the SeaChest utility will
briefly show a black window box and quickly close.  That is what happens when
trying to run it from the Windows File Manager.

This is a command line tool and the requirement is to open a Command Prompt as
Administrator.  There are two easy ways to do this:
  1. Windows Accessories, right-click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as
     Administrator.
  2. Click Windows Start. In the Start Search box, type cmd, and then press
     CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Then change drives or directory to where the SeaChest utility is located and
run the tool file name from there.

SATA SSD SMART Attributes example.

The drive will display its list of supported SMART attributes. Some attributes
are industry standard and most others are vendor unique. Most attributes are
informational and not used to determine a warranty return. Use the --smartCheck
command to determine if one of the warranty attributes has been tripped.

Reminder: Seagate Support does not help to analyze SMART attributes.

                     the exit code is not set to 0 (success) when all the devices were skipped.
                     Fixed parsing some CLI options to allow empty units like previous versions.
                     Changed pulling telemetry log to save to a file and allow up to data area 4.
v3.0.2  07-Jul-2025  Fixed a bug with scan not showing any output in specific circumstances where number of successfully
                     enumerated devices is equivalent to the number of unsuccessfully enumerated devices.
                     Added new exit code for when paths are detected as insecure to be resolved by the user before

                     Removed use of os_Update_File_System_Cache from situations where the drive may not be in a good state (still sanitizing,
                     or after a sector size change) to minimize possible system interaction issues which may disconnect the device from the
                     system.
                     Fixed read/write logic on some USB devices which reported an ATA maxlba of 0.

About SeaChest Command Line Diagnostics
=======================================
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.

SeaChest 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.  SeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux
and Windows environments.

Linux versions of SeaChest tools are available as stand alone 32 or 64-bit
executables you can copy to your own system.  Windows OS versions of SeaChest
diagnostics are installed through a typical setup wizard and can be removed via
the Control Panel.

In addition, Seagate offers a tool to build a bootable USB SeaChest flash drive
which boots to a 64-bit Linux command prompt.  This is a Windows executable
file which formats a USB Flash drive you provide.  It copies over all the files
needed to use it as a bootable device for the SeaChest diagnostic software.
All data on the USB Flash drive will be erased so be sure to protect any
valuable files.

Technical Support for SeaChest 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.

SeaChest drive utilities support SATA, SAS and USB interface devices.

SeaChest Basics - Contains the most important tests and tools.

Other SeaChest "break out" utilities are available and listed below which offer
more in-depth functionality in specific areas. These are:

SeaChest 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.

SeaChest 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.

SeaChest 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.

SeaChest 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 tool
also support NVMe format and SATA sector size changes a.k.a. Fast Format. 
Also in this tool is the ability to depopulate a head from use as it wears out
so that the device can continue being used at a reduced capacity until completely
worn out. These complex commands deserve their own "break out" utility.

SeaChest 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.

SeaChest 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.

SeaChest NVMe - contains some options specific to NVMe devices. This tool started
as a test tool and many options are present in other SeaChest utilities now.

SeaChest PowerControl - Seagate disk drives offer a multitude of options to
manage power.  This tool manipulates the various power modes.

SeaChest 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).

SeaChest 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.

Various Open Source Licenses

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (c) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is not allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms
and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented
by the additional permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General
Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU General
Public License.

"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than
an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the
Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass
of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface
provided by the Library.

A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an Application
with the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the
Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked Version".

The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for
portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the
Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the object
code and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but
excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without
being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility
refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the
facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked),
then you may convey a copy of the modified version:

* a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure
that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the
facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful, or

* b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this
License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header
file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms
of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to
numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros,
inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of
the following:

* a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library
is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.

* b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken
together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the
Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging
such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

* a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this
License.

* b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

* c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution,
include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as
a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license
document.

* d) Do one of the following:
  o 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and
under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application
with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified
Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for
conveying Corresponding Source.
  o 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.
A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library
already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate
properly with a modified version of the Library that is
interface-compatible with the Linked Version.

* e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be
required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only
to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a
modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking
the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use
option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal
Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option
4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by
section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by
side in a single library together with other library facilities that are not
Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined
library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:

* a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the
Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the
terms of this License.

* b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a
work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you
received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that published version
or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU
Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether
future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that
proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent
authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.

Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive license:

(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its

2.2. Effective Date

The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
distributes such Contribution.

2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope

The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
Contributor:

(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
    or

(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
    Version); or

(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
    its Contributions.

This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
the notice requirements in Section 3.4).

2.4. Subsequent Licenses

No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).

2.5. Representation

Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.

2.6. Fair Use

This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
equivalents.

2.7. Conditions

Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
in Section 2.1.

3. Responsibilities
-------------------

3.1. Distribution of Source Form

All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
Form.

3.2. Distribution of Executable Form

If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:

(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and

(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.

3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work

You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).

3.4. Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Termination
--------------

5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.
