Defrag on RAID 0
(1/1)
Paladin9:
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?
WMD:
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:
