Defraggng RAID volumes

[Rila]

I know this has probably been discussed here before, but what software is
safe to use to defrag RAID 0 drives? I have two 80 G WD drives on the VIA
controller on my A8V Deluxe that I need to defrag.

RAID 0 setups do not require special software to defrag them. Use
Windows Defrag, Norton Speed Disk, Disk Keeper, or anything you like.

I defrag my arrays with WinXP's defragging software.

Me too. Two 80GB Raid 0, VIA controller on AV8 Deluxe

Not an issue.

Thanks. Didn't think it would be a problem, but thought I'd check to make
sure.

I use Disk Keeper version 9 and have had no problem with a raid 0 set
up .

Thanks. Disk Keeper is my preferred defrag program.

Diskeeper 9 (there is now a 10) worked fine for me, as does Windows' own.
(SiL 3112 RAID controller with two 80G Maxtor Diamond+ 9).

All other 3rd-party defrags seem to choke (System Mechanic, System Suite, etc.).
Either freeze, or run for 30+ hours and no sign of progress.
