Vista defrag utility supports RAID ?
Hi,
I have an EVGA nForce 680i mobo with a hardware RAID controller on it. I installed Vista on a 2 x 150GB Raptor RAID 0 array. I'd like to know if the Vista (or Live OneCare) disk defragmenter utility supports RAID configuration (from a hardware controller) ? Because I'm afraid that all the datas being moved to one disk of the array during defragmentation and therefore l would loose the speed gain from an RAID 0 array.

Vista's defrag tool will never ever know that you have a hardware raid installed, nor will it care. It'll just see your raid 0 disk as one hard drive and treat it as such for the defrag, and due to the way hardware raid works this means your data will be distributed around all the disks in the array just fine. -- Robert Moir http://www.rhymeswithgeek.com

'Rhymes With Geek' (http://www.rhymeswithgeek.com) Does the same thing go for RAID 1? Since it is a mirror, does Vista defrag both hard drives individually or what? I performed a defrag but since Vista removed the status, I have no clue whats actually happening... -- giyad Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
