I am putting together a sytem right now that will run windows 10 pro 64bit and 3 hard drives, 2 are for storage. My question is do I need to put a partition on them as well? All answers will be appreciated very much.

"put a partition"

By default, there will be a single partition.

If they do not simply appear as another drive letter, you'd have to (in Disk Management):
Initialize, New Simple Volume, Format, and give it a drive letter.

Install the OS with only the one drive connected.
Connect the others later.
