I bought Seagate Expansion 2TB portable hard drive. First I installed SeaTools and run short and long test, everything compleated fine. After that I installed program Seagate drive settings program but it tells me that no external drives can be found (picture in attachment). Is this normal? I tried connecting it on front panel and on the back of my motherboard same results.

Have you tried installing DiscWizard and seeing if the drive is seen there?

Seagate support told me that program Seagate drive settings in not compatible with win 10 :D

 

What about those Smart settings, is everything OK? Raw read error rate 84 -65?

Hmm, interesting. I almost wonder if you could get it to work running it in compatibility mode.

As far as the health of the drive goes, you would check that using SeaTools running a Long Generic test. Seems the software you're using rates it okay, however we can't say for certain with 3rd party software.

I already said that it passes long generic test in Seatools but Seatools doesn`t have Smart check unfortunatley
