Windows 10: Do I need Intel Rapid Technology running in the background?

My system is as follows: OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 (19042.662) CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz BIOS: AMI v3505, 13-01-2017 (UEFI) Motherboard: ASUS X99-DELUXE/3.1 Boot Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume2 Boot SSD: Samsung 850 Pro (512GB, SATA, AHCI Mode, Disk Cache Enabled) Locale: UK RAM: 32,0 GB Page File Space: 4,75 GB Page File: C:\pagefile.sys there is always this Intel Rapid Technology service running and displayed in the taskbar. This is for years already. Installed it myself, believing it would improve the overall performance. But, frankly speaking, I don't know whether it serves any purpose in my case: a single, non-RAID PC with a number of HDD's. It doesn't bother, but if it is of no use, then I might as well uninstall it. Appreciate views. Thanks.!
