hey mate,
1 - Its the driver needed by the computer's os to understand how to work an attached raid card. How does it work? RAID basically lets you merge two harddrives together. Wikipedia can probably explain it better than me  The benefits of RAID are; faster access times, ability to recover files if a harddrive crashes, increase storage size. This however depends on what level of RAID you're running and how many harddrives its acting on. Is it able to run with any comptuer? - as longa s you have the required hardware, yes. hardware like i said before is either a PCI card, pci-e card or it being built into your motherboard.
