I'd rather just ignore that message - Windows does not need a driver to access the storage and there's no advantage to loading it - and - early versions of the driver created problems.

Your choice.

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

It did create BSOD's with Vista but installing it now works fine and installs it's own shortcut in My Computer, well on Windows 7 x86 and x64 that is!!
The driver was designed to be included in the network map of Vista and 7, why I don't know!!!
If you want to ignore it just goto Networks, right click on DNS-323 and uninstall then it should not prompt to install driver and/or show up in device manager with !

I've never been prompted to install a driver for it. Under what condition does that happen?

When you double click on the DNS-323 icon in the network area, it starts of the driver installation process, under Vista and 7

Not for me it doesn't. I wouldn't mind betting it only does if the UPnP server is enabled on the NAS. This will add another icon to the network window.
