Just the nature of HD Tach. Stripe size of 64K or larger? ........that's what happens. Otherwise, results look good OK for whatever drives.

I am a neat freak when it comes to my drives, i find myself defragging probable 3 times a night. from 5:30- usually 11. I think the stripe size is 64k should it be smaller?

No, but if you want a prettier graph try 32 or 16K. I've tested different stripes so many times with no difference in performance. I just use 32K usually.
