highlights the major OS manufacturers. Several variations of the major operating systems have been tested.

Compatibility test configurations
The Momentus drives have been tested to demonstrate compliance in both the master drive and slave drive 
positions, including master and slave selection via the cable select feature. These tests are performed to 
ensure functionality to the ATA/ATAPI-7 specification. Seagate design and testing are constantly evolving to 
match the evolution of the ATA/ATAPI specifications. Momentus drives should be expected to be largely com-
pliant to the emerging ATA/ATAPI-8 specification.
Notes exceptions to the specifications for the Momentus 5400 FDE are listed in the ATA Interface Section 
above.

Software utilities
The following is a brief overview of a some of the Seagate utilities used during the Seagate competitive analy-
sis process.
The Seagate SeaTools application is an exclusive disc drive diagnostic software designed to troubleshoot most 
hard drive issues. Desktop edition works with most ATA, SATA, or SCSI drives in desktop systems and has a 
98 percent accuracy rate.
The Seagate DiscWizard™ application simplifies the installation of disc drives. This software also overcomes 
many system BIOS and operating system limitations that can complicate the installation of higher-capacity ATA 
(IDE) interface drives.
This is a list of some of the third party utilities used in the testing process.
