I'm not sure what this is testing, what the file size is or how many files. 
These days it's increasingly common to see tmpfs mount on /tmp rather than 
persistent storage; and then at some threshold it uses swap. So I'm unsure this 
is a reliable testing source or destination.

What results do you get for the same test using /dev/zero to /tmp and /tmp to 
/dev/null?

The raw value is typical for Seagate drives, but the value and worst compared 
to threshold would concern me. The value should be at 100, ideally, for a 
completely normally functioning drive. It's OK if it dips below this and there 
are no other problems. But worst value 54 is pretty close to threshold 30, it's 
just not low enough to trigger a prefail warning. It's worth sending the data 
to Seagate and seeing what they have to say about it if it's still in warranty.
