Does Vista disk defragmenter utility supports raid array?

Hello,

I have an EVGA nForce 680i motherboard with a hardware RAID controler on it.
I installed Vista on a 2 x 150GB Raptor RAID 0 array.I'd like to know if the
Vista disk defragmenter (or the Live OneCare disk defragmenter)supports RAID
configuration (from a hardware controler)? Because I don't want the
defragmenter to move all the datas to one disk during defragmentation and
therefore loosing the speed gain from an RAID 0 array.

I have a RAID 0 array and the Vista defragmenter works just fine.

No disk defragmenter knows that you have a RAIDx configuration. That is
hidden from the file system and thus from defragmenters. Since it is hidden
from the file system and disk defragmenters, it has no impact on either.
