SeaTools for Windows (and there is a bootable version, too) by Seagate is an excellent utility and can be used on any brand of drive. If you do know your drive's manufacturer and they have a

Hello. If it were me, I'd find out who made the drive in question and get the manufacturer's diagnostic, no matter how well or poorly it works with speech. That is the only
