Can Perfect Disk cause failure in a Raid 1 (mirror) HD array?

[starriol]

I've been researching about this and found people claiming that PD could cause this kind of problems, such as destroyed file tables, disk sectors (logically of course) and they ended up needing to recreate the array and then reformatting.
But some people answered saying that Perfect Disk uses Windows own defragger to do it's magic, only that it uses it better, so the problem must be a faulty raid controller chip or some other problem not related with PD.

The problem I have is that I cannot risk using a potentially disastrous software on the new server of the corporation I work for, because it is absolutely mission critical and cannot be risked for faster access to files.
But I love how Perfect Disk 8 leaves the disk after a defrag.
So you think this kind of problems with RAID arrays are related with the soft or not?

I currently use it on my 12 disk raid 6 and 8/5 disk raid 5 arrays. no problems ..

Been using PD for several years - now version 8, build 64. I do my RAID 1 array every few days and have never had any inkling of a problem. With Vista, you really need build 64.

PD most certainly does NOT use Windows defragger - that is by DiskKeeper - a completely different GUI and process.

Perhaps I messed it up in my head and it's DK that uses that engine.

Thanks for the responses
