Hi All,
Do I just formatted my PC and it seems like windows 10 Pro has installed drivers for most of hardware. But, Im not sure if i should install the Intel Rapid Storage software, though my Raid 0 storage is showing up along my other drive. would be there any performance issue on my drives without the software ?

Also, there is Driver package called "Intel Chipset" that I dont know what does it do ... Device manager shows that all my components has drivers , should I install it anyway ?

my computer spec :

Solution
Install chipset drivers, it will also include the proper USB drivers.

Rapid storage, you don't have to install it but it will alert you if /when it see's an issue with your drives that you wouldn't otherwise know.
