New drive mbr or gpt?

segasega · 2013-03-15 17:48:21

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.
