Oh lawdy, lol! I guess my fears of defragmenting my AthlonXP nforce2 desktop shouldn't have carried over to newer tech. I only got exposure to the matrix storage controllers last year with a Intel C2D laptop and now have a further understanding of how it works thanks to your clarification. I still fear the defrag time of a 320gb HDD and hope it's nowhere near a whole day but if performance becomes noticeably laggy, I'll give it a shot. |
