Question
Can System Mechanic defragment a RAID hard drive system?
Answer
Yes. The RAID array is controlled by a RAID hardware controller, not by Windows®. The controller makes multiple hard drives appear and work as a single hard drive. Since the RAID array will appear as one hard drive to Windows, System Mechanic will defragment file data in a normal contiguous manner.
