Hi,
I would like to test my removable disk drive. I sometimes have a problem
reading .jpg files. Does anyone have experience with the Seagate tool, or
have another recommendation?

my disk is :PHILIPS DVD+-RW DVD8631
Thanks

A utility which tests hard-drive integrity does _not_ check the motor.
A hard-drive utility will _not_ examine recognize, nor test, an Optical
drive.
Such utilities examine:
1.) Hard drive for bad clusters / sectors
2.) Read / Write integrity
3.) The 'logic' circuitry of the drive controller
Each drive manufacturer crafts its own, unique, "logic"
circuitry.
Each drive manufacturer, perforce, crafts a "drive test" utility
specific to its own drives.
Some (not all) manufacturers of Optical drives do, indeed, provide a utility
to check #3, the logic circuitry of the controller.
