Can perfect disk cause failure in a Raid 1 (mirror) array?

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 haven't run into any problems with file or disk corruption using Perfect Disk in an enterprise environment. I run it semi regularly on Win2k and Win2k3 boxes which are configured with SCSI mirror arrays and have not run into any problems.
