MBRvsGPT: Advantages and Disadvantages
Partition: Data is stored on a disk in sections called partitions.
You need at least one partition on your drive to store data and to boot the OS.
MBR allows up to four primary partitions per drive, while GPT can create up to 128 primary partitions.
Since, MBR has a limit of 2TB its not appropriate for high capacity SSDs.
The same limit for GPT is 9.4ZB or 1 trillion GB.
In contrast, MBR stores boot information only at the beginning, which makes it difficult to recover data.
OS Compatibility: Both these partition style use different interface to boot your machine.
MBR uses the BIOS interface, which is supported by all 32bit OS older than Windows 8.
