WD My Book Duo Without Software

I am considering purchasing the WD My Book Duo product, and I am wondering if I am absolutely required to install the software? Essentially, I just want to have a relatively compact package for 2 JBOD HDDs.

I will use Disk Utility to format them. I basically just want to plug this device in and have 2 external hard drives show up without the need for software. Is this possible? Thanks

Hello,

It is not necessary to install any software in order to user the My Book Duo.
