If you go to Seagate warranty page it says to download this tool and attach the output with the drive return. At a guess the tool is windows only though. If you were to swap the 5v/12v lines on the cable and plug into a power supply that can deliver sufficient current the drive would become "obviously failed" and smart output would become irrelevant... just sayin'.
