I was thinking of dumping Norton Systemworks to get Nod32 antivirus and was thinking of how to defrag. Are there any utilities out there (maybe this belongs in software) that do better defragging a RAID drive, or is defragging RAID even necessary?
 
It's necessary, but XP and 2000 have a decent defragger built in. I use Diskeeper 8.0, and I've also tried O&O Defreg Pro too.
 
I use Diskeeper 8.0 on both RAID-0 arrays.

Easy, efficient and quick.

(y) to Diskeeper.
 
I use Diskeeper 7.03 on XP in my RAID0 array, no problems with it, works great
 
the OS views the RAID array as a single disk
ignoring the stripes, so defragmenting is still a benefit

and I use O&O ;)
 
depends on the Drive\Partition the OS is in Stealth
other data partitions are Schedualed Complete Name or Access
My pagefile is cleared at each shutdown (a common security tweak)
and locked files (Registry\MFT) are defragged at every boot

the RAID array is strictly Data\Ghost Image Partitions (4 Primary Partitions)
