I think seek would be better. According to the man page:
seek=BLOCKS
skip BLOCKS obs-sized blocks at start of output
skip=BLOCKS
skip BLOCKS ibs-sized blocks at start of input
You don't want to skip blocks of your INPUT file, do you?.
Is this magnetic media, or a solid state disk?
If magnetic, I would not recommend using a single pattern.
