here is a pic of my 3 drives in raid 0, why is the graph so jumpy?

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.
