I don't know of any disadvantages of GPT compared to MBR partitioning. <br />
<br />
Some years earlier not every software could work with GPT partitioned disks. But with increasing storage sizes that problem isn't existing with current software anymore.<br />

Thx for the swift reply.<br />
So as i understand, it's even better to change all our available disks to GPT, especially in Windows environments &nbsp;?

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
Are there down sides for working with GPT disk partitioning for all our servers, even those which are smaller than 2TB ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
