Defragmenting RAID 1 drives

I have two 320 Gb. SATA drives hooked up to mirror each other.  When I access
the Windows 'Defrag' module it shows one drive in the GUI.  My question is:
Do I have to break the mirror volume before defragging these drives or can I
just run DEFRAG on the mirrored volume as is and Windows XP Pro will handle
the process correctly?

Not to make you feel unwelcome, but I believe you'd have much better luck if
you asked this question in a windows group, or a group dedicated to your
hardware.

For a Windows group, you might try:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware
microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain

For a hardware-related group, try searching through Google Groups using a
search phrase like "defragment RAID".

A quick perusal of questions and answers in Google Groups indicate that you
will be OK using the built in XP defragger.
