You won't need any drivers if it's a single SATA drive. Setup is harder if you want a RAID array, but with a single drive there are no special settings.

Seagate SATA hard drives have DMA problems. If the controller is Promise or Silicon Image, the problems gets worst. I suggest using Highpoint RocketRAID 1640 or 3ware controllers. Both are reliable for SATA. SATA controllers from Intel, SIS, nVidia, ATI also have their on problems.
