MBR or GPT with second 2TB HDD?

aaronwayne94 · Jun 30, 2015

I have bought a new HDD and it is 2TB in size, this is the second one my pc is running and i was wondering, when initializing which partition style should i go with? MBR or GPT?

The hard drive is a Western Digital WD20EZRX Caviar Green if this makes any difference?

Thanks

Format it as NTFS. It should do the rest for you.

mbr is fine as long as it is not a boot drive.

If it's OS is vista or lower, I'd go MBR. If the OS is 7 or higher, I'd go GPT. Then format as NTFS.
