Seagate Manager

Overview

Seagate Manager is a software program developed by Seagate Technology. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background.

The setup package generally installs about 40 files and is usually about 19.58 MB (20,527,089 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1).
