Hi
How do I abort a long test on seatools 5
Esc doesn't seem to work. Also no abort button in seatools5

Instructions say there should be an abort button -

Long tests may be aborted at any time. Select the Abort Tests icon from the menu bar.

yours or the link?

Long Generic Test scans the entire drive for defects. It will take a long time to complete. Because this test reads every sector on the drive, the amount of time required will depend on the speed and capacity of the disk drive. The highest capacity drives often take 3 to 5 hours per terabyte to complete. At any time, feel free to Cancel the test without harming the drive. Long Test is completely data safe.

Seatools 5 maybe - https://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/seatools_for_windows.pdf

Instructions are rather vague

which long test did you run?
long drive self test? - Tests all aspects of the drive. Performs limited testing of the drive media blocks. Completes in several minutes depending on drive.
long generic test? - Performs read and write test on all blocks of the flash media
fix all long? - Back up your data. Defrags the full disk. Reads and writes all data blocks; finds and replaces bad blocks. Recovery results can vary. This test can take as long at 1 hour per TB, and cannot be interrupted.

Clearly I wouldn't interrupt the Fix all but the other 2 might be safe to just stop. Close app.
