MBR or GPT?
Hello Expert(s):
Can you clarify the below statement(s) as why removable disks can't be converted into a GPT disk, but nowdays we see many of the external disks are 6TB, 8TB or even 10TB. So what the exact format we should used for those? MBR or GPT format?

• MBR disks supports up to 2TB per single partition.
• GPT disks supports up to 256TB per single partition in Windows.
• Removable disks cannot be converted into a GPT disk.
Thank you,

So what you were saying is that the External Disk(s) by default is GPT and if I mistake format it as MBR then I won't able to convert it to GPT anymore?
