Hi everyone,
Wish all of you have a nice day!
I'm using Lenovo G40-70. And I've just visited Lenovo support website to download its drivers (Follow this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/pr...o-g-series-laptops/g40-70-notebook-lenovo?c=1 ). I found that some drivers seems strange to me (such as Intel Chipset Driver, Intel IRST Patch, Intel Management Engine Interface, Intel Rapid Storage Driver, etc,...)

Do I need to install thoose drivers? Please explain for me what thoose drivers do on my machine? Does it helpful for me?
Thanks!

I have found that the drivers supplied by the OEM are always sufficient; I do not notice any real benefit to upgrading drivers... in fact, some AMD addon softs are nothing but resource hogs.

I clean install Windows OS and use only those drivers that are absolutely necessary. I'm surprised at what a difference that makes in terms of system responsiveness. OEM drivers are not needed at all in a lot of cases. If I discover one is needed, all I have to do is download it from the OEM site and install it.

Those drivers look legit...

Most cases its primarily more on bug fixes when you update the drivers (chipset or graphics); do if you experience in related BSOD.

Intel Rapid Storage is something to do for performance wise on the storage especially SSD and its pretty good to install it.

Intel Management Interface is design to become more efficient in PC performance especially power consumption and other task.

Lenovo should have bundled an updater on your computer to check for latest updates.

How about Intel Rapid Storage when I use HDD?

 

[jamescv7]

Valuable digital memories are protected against a hard drive failure when the system is configured for any one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10. By seamlessly storing copies of data on one or more additional hard drives, any hard drive can fail without data loss or system downtime. When the failed drive is removed and a replacement hard drive is installed, data fault tolerance is easily restored.

@Maxxx58 : Its not just for SSD but the whole concept which besides for performance wise but protection against failure of Hard Drive.
