So, im looking at drivers for my HDD under dell drivers, and i get millions to choose from:
I just know i have a 1 tb in raid 0 (2x 1tb). where do i check what type of HDD's i have? and what drivers should i download? any help would be appreciated
Edit: I found out which ones i have under my dell config:
MODULE..., HARD DRIVE..., 1TB, 7.2K, SGT-PHAR 6G
DDJJ0
1
HARD DRIVE..., 1TB, S3, 7.2K, SGT-PHAR 6G
N5KJ5
1
MODULE..., HARD DRIVE..., 1TB, 7.2, #2, SGT-PHAR 6G
DDJJ0
1
HARD DRIVE..., 1TB, S3, 7.2K, SGT-PHAR 6G
I still dont know which ones to download. I know i wont need the western digital ones since it looks to be a seagate drive, but other than that, im lost

Most of those hardware-specific files are firmware, not drivers. You don't install device drivers for HDD or SSD. Unless you are having a specific problem that needs to be corrected, I would avoid flashing the HDD firmware. No action is required unless there is a problem.
The easiest and most accurate ways to identify your drive are to (a) look at the properties in Device Manager (if they are not in a RAID array); (b) use the Intel RST app if they are in a RAID array; or, (c) simply look at the label attached to the drive. Any of these methods are super easy. -
