I'm copying a large number of files to a Seagate usb 3.0 backup drive.
I'm only getting less than 1mb/sec speed. So I want to test my hard drive.
It's a Toshiba drive. Since it came in the HP laptop I don't know what software to use to test it. It is plugged into a 3.0 port.
You can use Seagate's own tool - http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/
Also, wow, you're still trying to test the same hard drive almost a year later - good for you.
I don't think the problem is in the external seagate drive. I think its the internal Toshiba drive.
So I've wanted to test it but I don't know what software to use to test it.
