Another to GPT or not question.
I'm installing one 2TB (data only) drive internal and will be using a second 2TB external as a backup to it (not RAID). After researching all morning and reading MS's documents I'm still unsure if GPT would be advantageous.
Most of the heavily touted pluses of GPT are not applicable to my situation since -- The drive(s) is not over 2TB and I will only be using a single partition. My gray areas are whether GPT offers any additional crash (data loss) security and, can GPT be used on an external/detachable HD. MS docs state no under XP but I could not find any info related to Win7.
Cheers!
