I have 2 - 1.2TB RAIDs for video storage (8 - 250GB drives each), and would like to defrag them, but the Properties-Tools-Defrag can't handle it. How can I accomplish this?

Are you experiencing any problems, performance or otherwise? Is it a hardware RAID or software RAID?

If hardware RAID, the RAID controller has it's own algorithm's for storing and optimizing data on the volumes and defrag is likely not necessary nor advised.
