Samsung Magician Error

So I just picked up a couple of Samsung 840 EVOs and set them up in a RAID 0 array. I then downloaded Samsung Magician software, and when I launch it - it tells me I don't have any Samsung SSDs connected to my system. It's able to see my RAID 0 volume though...I guess it just doesn't see the drives as Samsung?

So I called up Samsung support and the guy told me I wasn't missing out on anything...LOL

Did a couple of web searches, and I see people have this issue when they're connecting via USB or using a 3rd party controller. I'm simply using the on board controller, my drives are connected directly to my board, and I have Intel RST installed. What gives? Am I really not missing out on anything by not getting to optimize my drives?

I think that the magician software does not function in RAID mode, especially when two ssd's are in RAID0 configuration.

Goooootcha. So what about performance optimization? Firmware update? Secure erase? :(  Do I pretty much get to lose out on all of this? Is there any way around it?
