for the last few years i've used auslogic's free defrag program as its fast and seems reasonably good, esp when compared to the crap bundled with windows. anyway having read a lot of good things about defraggler i thought i'd give it a go.
on my single drives - backups scratch drives etc - its brilliant, moving and reordering every single file to complete the defrag, however i've just used it on my c: drive which is 2x320gb WD's in raid 0.
Before, in any defrag program the data on my raid array would always show as starting in the top left of the coloured map thigny (coloured squares showing drive segments and their status) then stopping and then continuing again from halfway, i've always assumed this showed the data as being on the two disks, as it is in this state after a clean install, and the amount of data in each block is roughly eqaul,
After using defraggler however, all the data has been moved to the top of the diagram. does this mean that it has essentially destoryed the point of the array, as it appears now that one drive is empty whilst the other has all the data! which is pointless.
if anyone could confirm/correct me i'd be greatful
cheers
