man dd example section says?:
Code:
     Check that a disk drive contains no bad blocks:

	   dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=1m

     Do a refresh of a disk drive, in order to prevent presently recoverable
     read errors from progressing into unrecoverable read errors:

	   dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m
