Sata got 2 types = Asmedia SATA Controller Driver and Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software

Chipset got 2 types = Intel® Management Engine Interface and Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility.

If you are unsure, just download and install all of them. You literally can't harm anything and installers inform if there's already newer version present.

i want to download important  Drivers or utilities. but yeah installing all of them sometimes could increase windows boot up and is just make things slower. :S

LAN is your ethernet driver. If you have working internet with ethernet cable already, you can ignore it. Most mobos use 3rd party network controller and internet doesn't work without installing drivers first.
