: Facilitates the initialization of new disks specifically for GPT layouts, which are more robust than the aging Master Boot Record (MBR) system.
: MBR supports only 4 primary partitions; GPT supports up to 128 primary partitions in Windows.
: MBR is capped at 2.2TB, whereas GPT can theoretically handle up to 9.4 Zettabytes.
For modern high-capacity drives, the traditional MBR partitioning scheme is "legacy" and significantly limited:
