HDD diagnostics OK for Seagate Hybrid?

[coyote2]

Is it Ok to use hard drive diagnostics (like HDD Tune or Seatools) on a hybrid drive like Seagate's SSHD 2TB (STCL2000400)?

I've never before owned a hybrid or a SSD. (I vaguely recall drive diagnostics--or maybe that was defrag, hmm--not being OK on a SSD.)

Speaking of which, may I assume defrag is OK on a hybrid. Now that I think of it, maybe both are OK since these tools might avoid the SSD portions.

Diagnostics fine, no defrag for SSD. Both OK for hybrid.

Thank you very much for the help, rolli59!
