Defrag of Intel Rapid Storage Technology HDD?

I have my Hp DV6 Humming with a New 2TB HDD and Factory Restore. Machine is working great. I do use System Mechnic on it and it tells me that I have misaligned files and wants to realign them on This Laptop, I7, 12GB, ram 24GB cache ssd, and 2TB hdd It.has the Rapid Storage tech running the 24gb sdd as a raid 0 array.It is my understanding that defragging or optimizing the hdd will defeat the the cache ssd purpose. Should I periodically disable acceleration and manually defrag?

DV6 means little as it is a convention used for the last 10 years. Your memory is an odd amount for a lappy that likely only runs dual channel. You cannot have a RAID-0 array with one HDD and a SSD.

You should remove the third-party (HP's are packed with bloat) crap including SM and use the tools built into the OS. Use either DEFRAG in win7 or optimise in win8 and set schedule to daily. Not interested in arguments otherwise, but windows has been pretty good at keeping itself clean for many years.

It is a Standard Hp I7 Haswell Intel 4600l/Nvidia GT740 OPtimus 15.6 laptop w win 8.1. The memory is a 8GB and 4Gb Dimm. It is running In Asymetrical memory mode. Half the 8GB and The full 4GB run in dual channel and the other half of the 8GB runs in single channel mode, Also referred to as Intel Flex memory mode. This allows the use of different capacity Dimms. I used to run Tuneup utilities until AVG took them over. I have disabled the file alignment feature in SM because I just found that Intel Rapid Storage tech automatically optimizes mechanical drives. The 24 Gb ssd and the 2TB Hdd is referred to as a SATA raid 0 array by Intel. What is really is the small 24 Gb ssd acting as hybrid like cache for the hdd. I happen to like SM and not had any real problems with it. It is just my personal preference. To each his own.
