I have 2 of my Seagate external HDDs with high numbers in "Command Timeout" and "Head Flying Hours" raw values. Should I be worried about these? Please look at the images below.

Not a direct answer - more information needed.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Why are those two (Command Timeout and Head Flying Hours) of particular concern?

Are there any specific problems related to the disk drives? If so, what are the problems?

Any error codes, pop-up window errors, file transfer failures - any disk issues at all?

The number of Command Timeouts is actually 2 and 4.

The Head Flying Hours (and Power On Hours) is a 56-bit value. CrystalDiskInfo only shows 48 bits, whereas HDDScan shows all 56 bits. The lower 32 bits is the number of actual hours. The upper 24 bits (CrystalDiskInfo shows 16 bits) is the number of milliseconds in the next hour.
