yes.
from 'man badblocks'

-n Use non-destructive read-write mode. By default only a non-
destructive read-only test is done. This option must not be
combined with the -w option, as they are mutually exclusive.
-s Show the progress of the scan by writing out the block numbers
as they are checked.
-v Verbose mode.
-w Use write-mode test. With this option, badblocks scans for bad
blocks by writing some patterns (0xaa, 0x55, 0xff, 0x00) on
every block of the device, reading every block and comparing the
contents. This option may not be combined with the -n option,
as they are mutually exclusive.
