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.
