Does Raptor come with a CD that is needed?

[-iLLuZioN-B18C1]

I ordered a WD raptor (74gb) and came with no software.
Cant remember if HD's come with any firmware or anything needed
since i havnt bought one in so long.

I ask b/c i dont really notice a speed difference compared to my old 7200 rpm maxtor
60 gb and it doesnt sound any louder. actually i cant even hear it like many have talked about.

i did a fresh format (the quick version....should i be doign the format that takes a long time?)
also, i only have 11gb used....as far as speed, from what i can tell everything loads the same speed.
