Which tool allows one to see a list of Seagate Firmware modules, and then repair the faulty ones like Sediv does on WD drives ?

Greetings !

For "newer" F3 arch. drives you can use Salvation Data Seagate Doctor, PC-3000 UDMA/Express, Atola Insight, MRT or even SeDiv for Seagate or the latest version of the Seagate Tools F3, just to mention a few.
For older Seagate drives like 7200.10 and older you can also use STCom tools, STR-3000, ST_Mem or even plug-ins and scripts for popular terminal software on the market.

Thank you Madoka,

I have Sediv and am trying to see the modules for Seagate Momentus 5400.2 (ST98823AS) but could not find the option there.

Please point me to the option.

Thank you.

I don't have the full version of SeDiv, so it might be wiser to ask this question on the SeDiv forum or mail the SeDiv tech. support.
With that in mind you might as well open a new thread with the problem you are having with your drive and attach a terminal or SeDiv log.
On your drive you will want to check for error messages on the terminal log; the way those Seagate drives work are not the same as WD, you will want to properly examine the terminal log to figure out what is the problem with the drive.
Also momentus 5400.2 should be "barracuda style", NOT F3, so you will not be looking for "modules" on the same style as on a more recent F3 drive but instead you will be looking for APP code, ATA overlay, CERT code, CERT Tables, Vendor track, etc.
A terminal log can provide a better insight about the current state of your drive, and for SeDiv specific questions you might as well try to use the SeDiv tech. support.
