And if you know the md5sum and exact size size in bytes of the source 
image, and have enough memory, you can also verify the write:

sudo dd if=/dev/sdX bs=4211081216 count=1 | md5sum

$ ls -l osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso
-rw-rw---- 1 ben ben 4211081216 Aug 17 11:40 osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso
$ md5sum osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso
83a07dc571b7810495f0835e5f390ab8  osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso
$ cat osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso.md5
83a07dc571b7810495f0835e5f390ab8  osgeolive-12.0beta3-amd64.iso

Kind regards,
Ben.
