invalid, verification is not performed when the WRITE command is issued. With
the verification invalid, the writing speed is increased by about 20% (depending
on the situation). Table 3.6 shows the verify mode settings. The verification can
also be specified as valid or invalid by the MODE SELECT command.

Data loss: When the verify function is invalid, the write data
quality is not guaranteed. This mode should not be used for storing
important data. When using the mode for storing important data, a
preventive system measure such as file duplication is required.
