    Just got a new WD 1TB drive to use for media storage. I use a SSD for my OS. When I popped the new drive in and went to disk management it ask me if I witch partition style I would like to use mbr or gpt?

    Which would be better considering this is a 1TB drive and not my OS drive?

    Cheers!

    MBR.

    GPT for drives >2TB.
    MBR also allows transfer to pre-GPT computers.
