In contrast, I located a couple Seagate drives to test with, and found
that while they do put the "in progress" message in the selftest log, it
actually shows up at the bottom of the listing:
=====================
Self-test execution status: ( 248) Self-test routine in progress...
80% of test remaining.

When the test completes, the log entries are "rotated" and the test that
just completed moves up to the top:
=====================
Self-test execution status: ( 0) The previous self-test routine completed
without error or no self-test has ever
been run.
