1. No, it is absolutely NOT necessary for a RAID of any type. Especially with SSD's.
If you don't know why you need a RAID array, you do not need it.

2. Read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels


Bottom line - Until you can explain in excruciating detail the benefits and pitfalls of any particular RAID type, and why and when you might use it, and how it applies to different drive types....you do not need it.
