best software to organize raw images?

i have a ton of raw images i need to sort through. over the years many a laptop and many a camera i have managed to save doubles and triples in paranoia of losing them. now id like to save them on two externals but in order to save some space id like to remove the doubles and triples. can anyone recomend a good software to sort, manage and move them all?

I find iMatch to be an excellent program. It really helped me find duplicates, archive and batch smart rename my hordes of raw images.

What's wrong with using the Search function in your OS to find,move and consolidate all your RAW file? Either Windows Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac) will do that job.

To weed out duplicates you'll need a separate utility. The best ones are based on generating hash calculations for each file and based on the hash comparison it will identify duplicates even if the files don't have the same names.

search function doesnt really do anything besides show me the names. but ive gone through a few cams so some inages have the same filename. not to mention i cant preview raws in my os search. if there is a way to make it a bit more simple please let me know what im missing

lightroom does that very efficiently with a keyword dictionary and keeping track of where the physical file is if you have multiple removable hard drives. It also supports multiple raw formats(canon and sony for sure).
