Write passes are blind so a disk that cannot write is not reliable. The manufacturer tools are very basic tests, unless they were to take a very long time, at least one or two write passes and read passes. This is why the certify test is so good. It results in a disk that you know can be written to and read from 3 times without errors. If a disk cannot pass this strenous, but simple test, it is not reliable for important data. ]]> Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize iflyby77 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/certification-disk-question/#post-1939 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/certification-disk-question/#post-1933 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 04:26:59 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/certification-disk-question/#post-1933 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/certification-disk-question/#post-298 Sat, 25 Mar 2017 14:50:07 +0000 Managing Disks - Certify, Verify, Initialize iflyby77 https://forums.softraid.com/managing-disks-certify-verify-initialize/certification-disk-question/#post-298
