When creating an ntfs partition with mkfs.ntfs, it does zeroing and badblocks scanning by default. But unlike e2fsck -fccky it does not output how many badblocks it actually found.

I would like to get an impression of the reliability of the disk, can I somehow obtain the number of bad blocks found by NTFS?

There are no Linux utilities which offer this feature to the best of my knowledge.

Unfortunately only chkdsk from Windows shows the number of bad blocks. If you don't have a Windows licence, there are trial versions of Windows you can download and use legally.
