Hi. I recently purchased an external hard drive. The model is a Seagate Expansion 8TB (ST8000DM004-2CX188 8001.5 GB). I downloaded SeaTools for Windows to test the external hard drive. In the SeaTools program, I select my external hard drive and choose the long generic test. However, after less than 30 minutes the external hard drive "sleeps" and I have to wake up my computer in order to "reactivate" the external hard drive.
How can I make sure my external hard drive completes the test without "sleeping"?
