You do not need raid for that. That is a simple OS drive/file storage drive setup.

Raid is for identical sized drives for either striping (Raid 0) to make them faster, or redundancy (raid 1, raid 5) for backing up. Normal users can use RAID, but its most commonly seen in NAS or Server setups.

I really think you need more information on RAID.

Essentially to answer your question, no. You're not putting any drives in RAID.

no. You only need the raid drivers if you're running HDD's in raid. If you wanted them, you should get them from GIGABYTE's site
