Hi,
I posted in another thread about how poorly a new Maxtor/Seagate 500GB SATA 3.5GB drive was performing under Leopard.
It was replaced by Seagate and the new one is just as bad.
Someone in that thread mentioned using Seatools for OS X, which I cannot seem to locate.
A call to Seagate resulted in their tech recommending I install the drive in a Windows box, boot from the floppy and run DOS SeaTools to zero the drive.
He also suggested that the drive may not be compatible with my Mac HW, which I find rather odd.
I don't have access to a Windows box and don't
have a floppy to run under Fusion.
Does a version of Seatools for OS X exist? (Perhaps on a CD).
If so, and if someone has a copy, can they share so I can try to get this drive thing sorted out?
I'm currently zeroing the drive with disk diskutility, which is taking 24 hours.
Out of curiosity, is there really a difference between zeroing a drive using different utilities and what might that be?
thanks

SeaTools is a computerhard disk analysis software developed and released by Seagate Technology. It exists as a version for DOS (bundled in a bootable medium with FreeDOS) and Microsoft Windows.
Overview[edit]
SeaTools is software to test and analyze hard disks on a hardware level. It can perform short and long drive self-tests and read/write tests, extract S.M.A.R.T. indicators and drive information, and perform advanced tests. It was created by Seagate in response to the fact that more than one third of all drives sent in for repair were actually not defective at all, thus creating unnecessary costs for retailers and the company by having to ship and analyze such disks.[1][2]
SeaTools for DOS[edit]
Seatoolssd
SeaTools for DOS comes in a package with the FreeDOS operating system. It can be downloaded as a bootable ISO image from the Seagate website.
SeaTools for Windows[edit]
The Windows version of SeaTools supports any hard disk regardless of manufacturer. It supports analysis for disks connected via PATA/SATA, USB, IEEE 1394 and SCSI.
SeaTools Enterprise[edit]
The enterprise edition is still provided as a legacy version for Seagate hard disks only. It supports only SCSI or Fibre Channel drives and is designed for use with servers and workstations by supporting tests of multiple drives simultaneously as well as sequentially.
