a is a set of drivers for the specific chipset on your mother board for it to interface with your software (same as a sound card driver, the chips are manufactured by all sorts of manufacturers and you have to have drivers to make em run proper).

b no idea ????

c raid is a system that uses 5 or 6 hard drives and by spreading the data equally over the drives uses them like one drive. when any one drive fails you just hot swap the drive and the system can tell what was on the old drive and automatically rebuilds the lost data (uses a system similar to binary in its most basic form). good system but you need to have 5 or 6 drives of the same spec and then spares for if it actually fails and needs to be replaced.

and e like you say is just to get your usb2 device running.

hope this helps some.
