2xSSD Raid 1: do I need drivers for the DISK?

    Installing 2 SSD in Raid 1 as the main system volume.

    Drive is 120g Samsung MZ-7TD120.

    Motherboard is Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3, which has a RAID controller.

    Usually, I ignore any software disc that comes with a peripheral, because those discs tend to be either outdated, loaded with bloatware (or both), or delivered via craptastically faulty installer, etc..

    The disc that came with these drives is simply labeled "Manual & Software"; I assume the "software" refers to the backup junk they bundled with the drive.

    I can ignore this disc, plop my SSDs in place without worrying about Windows-level drivers, set the disk controller to RAID mode, and proceed with Windows installation... right?
