Hey guys, I'd like to have your opinion on the KILLER LAN feature that comes along with the MSI gaming 5 mobo (z97)

The driver forces you to install the software side of things as well and I have found mixed reviews and opinions on the internet. Just wanted to ask my favorite people for tech advice and see if you think that feature's worth anything or if I should look for a way to disable it?

EDIT: While I'm at it, Id like to know whether I need to install "intel raid drivers" for my RAID 0 setup or no?

The drives seem to work fine already (with only the motherboard settings set to "raid 0")
