I've been running a RAID5 array on my server for some time now, maybe 3 year with my current 4TB array. In tests it can top just over 400MB's read, however I am now running my weekly backup and its coping a large 15GB rar file at 40MB's. The backup disk can write at around 120MB's from what I've seen. So I'm wondering if my RAID5 array may be fragmented. So can anyone tell me if its useful to defrag a RAID5 array? I'm not sure how it would work since it's the RAID card that sees the individual disks and Windows just sees it as one large volume... Any input guys?
