[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1632052"] Yes, that can happen. Verify just verifies that the drive can read/write, not how many retries it makes to get the job done. So a failing drive will "succeed" in the test, but still be failing because of the number of retries it has to make being an indicator of failing internal hardware. Retries manifest in a slowing machine, beachballs, etc. [/QUOTE]
