You should not need drivers for an external drive of any make. Time Machine and popular backup app like Carbon Copy Cloner do not need them, and third-party external-drive software tends to negatively affect Mac speed and, sometimes, stability.


That said, Seagate, not Apple, is responsible for updating their software to stay abreast of OS changes:

Ask them if they have made the software changes that Catalina requires.
