Re: Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager 7.0 - why should I want this thing?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



With respect, this does not answer my question, which was:

"Why should I wish to use this thing?
What benefits or advantages would it bring?"

I am not a techie. I understand most everything else on my PC, but not
this.

it's associated with the driver for the HD interface; it includes the RAID
functionality available w/ that interface. If the drive(s) are not set up
for RAID you _MAY_ still need this, as the driver is a part of it.
Removing it _MAY_ cause the machine to not boot, so be careful and
research it a bit more before shooting yourself in the foot! It may also
depend on what "mode" you've choosen for the ICH5/6/7 interface in the
BIOS; there's a normal mode and an enhanced mode, the latter being more
effcient but requireing a special driver (the normal mode maps it to
standard IDE, and the built-in driver will work fine). Proceed
cautiously, or just leave it alone.
