Defrag RAID 0 taking longer than 8 hours?!

Jsunn · 03-21-09, 10:13 AM

Hello All,

I am in the process of rebuilding my computer and I 2 WD 500GB SATA drives in a Raid 0 configuration.

I currently have 153 GB of dada on the drive.

The disk vista defrag utilitiy has been running for about 8 hours and it still has not completed. is this abnoramal or par for the course for an Array of this size?

Thanks for the input.

The built in Vista defrag sucks. I would go with something like Auslogics Disk Defrag. Its free and works like its supposed to.
