RAID is a way of combining 2 or more hard drives so they effectively act as one drive with the data existing on more than one drive, the purpose being (generally) that if one drive fails you wouldn't lose any data. (pretty simplistic explanation of RAID)

Assuming you only have one drive in your computer then you almost certainly don't need the RAID tools.
