How to add 3Tb drv for music: initialize as MBR or GPT?

[boidsonly]

I want to add this 3tb drive as a digital music repository, from which I will play my ripped CDs. It is installed and the PC (Win7 Prof) asked if I wanted to initialize as MBR or GPT?

I have the OS on a SSD, have a 500GB HDD installed for games etc.

Well gurus, which option do I select?:huh:

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Pretty sure any thing above 2.2 terabytes requires GPT.

Right-

MBR works with disks up to 2 TB in size, but it can’t handle disks with more than 2 TB of space. MBR also only supports up to four primary partitions

What?s the Difference Between GPT and MBR When Partitioning a Drive?
