RAID 10 is a top-level array.

verify
Low-level check that a drive, logical device, or hot spare is good. In
a RAID 5, verify is a low-level check that data and parity is
consistent and logs errors and, optionally, corrects errors in parity.
In a RAID 1, verify is a low-level check that contents of both
members segments are consistent and, optionally, corrects errors
while assuming that the master drive is correct. For a drive (and
hot spare) verify performs a low-level check that the whole drive
can be read.
