Solve : Raid 0 Defrag question?

Answer»

Not sure if i'm posting in the good SECTION but, I'm currently RUNNING windows vista ultimate. Also 2 HD-500-SATA2-SG HARDDRIVE on raid 0. Should I defrag the drive? Or doing so will REMOVE the purpose of doing Raid 0?the RAID controller sorts all that out...as far as the operating system sees there is only one drive there. Defragging will always help. RAID 0 means that the data is striped across X DRIVES. So if you defrag it, then the data will be consecutive on disk. This lessens the need for head movements on both drives, since the data is side-by-side on disk. It doesn't matter RAID or not. It should always help. Thank you very much!
