Hello, I recently bought 2 of thoses 500G hard drives and RAID O them together and I have a great program called DISKKEEPER 9 to defrag but now it's saying something like cannot defrag hard drives about 512G, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a program I can use to defrag it would help me out a lot thanks

Diskeeper comes in various flavours .. the professional edition is limited to 512GB volumes. It's 768GB for server and greater for enterprise editions.

I'm afraid to ask, but I must, is there a particular reason why do you need 1TB of contiguous space in your computer (that sounds like it's a desktop). I'm also assuming that these are IDE RAIDs; which to begin with is not quite there yet.

You may want to break the array up into multiple partitions - or just use Windows defrag.
