Defrag on RAID 0
« on: 15 March 2004, 21:19 »
I have raid striping; when I defrag, does all the data get moved to only one drive or does defraging help even the data out on the two drives?  I guess my question is, how does a defrag work on a RAID 0 set of HD's?

Defrag on RAID 0

Probably, it puts data like this:

=========================================
D1(B1)+D2(B2)+D1(B3)+D2(B4)+D1(B5)+D2(B6) (D=drive)
=========================================

So teh data looks like this:

=================
B1+B2+B3+B4+B5+B6    (B=block)
=================

PS: Could you remove the white space in that Kerry button?  It makes your sig too big.  EDIT: It's fine now.  :confused:
