Can I just format my WD Mybook 3TB so it behaves as a generic USB drive?

Can anyone provide input as to if I re-format this drive it will still ask for an SES driver?

I plan to use a UPS on all my external drives.  If a WD drive cannot be used with a UPS and needs to be plugged into a wall, I would not consider it a safe bet for backups which could be corrupted.  But for testing purposes I will try once I get a response on the SES driver issue and perhaps if it acts like a normal drive and does not fail while trying to install the non-existant SES driver in windows…perhaps it will just appear as a drive when I plug it in and not re-install drivers every time. 

Any input most appreciated. Thanks,
