What is SoftRAID.kext, HighPointIOP.kext, and HighPointRR.kext?

My computer experiences kernel panics when waking up from sleep. It started happening after a software update so I started researching what the cause might be. Many of the articles suggested removing "third-party extensions" so I was wondering if its safe to delete these.
