May I add that this options *destroys all data* on your device:

"WARNING
   Never use the -w option on a device containing an existing file
   system.  This option erases data!  If you want to do write-mode testing
   on an existing file system, use the -n option instead.  It is slower,
   but it will preserve your data."
