I don't think you're forced to install the software on any of them.
However, many of them come formatted to fat32 and you want to use NTFS for a
number of reasons unless you're running Win-98.

I have two Western Digital external hard drives and they are plug and play 
and act no different than a internal drive other than being a little slower 
since they are USB.  They do have auto backup buttons on them I just don't 
use them.
