I haven't used their software but I do have a 1Tb MyBook. There's some embedded stuff - WD SmartWare Virtual CD - and it keeps mounting on the desktop as another drive icon. You can't get rid of it even by reformatting because it's a "feature"...more like a huge PITA if you ask me. If the 3Tb has this "feature" there are work arounds to keep the extra partition from mounting if you Google it.

It's always better to install the softwares included for full product support. It helps when something goes wrong in the future.
