Is UEFI + GPT only required if you want to boot a disk that is larger than 2 TB?
My motherboard supports UEFI, but since I'm not booting a > 2 TB disk is there any advantage of switching to it?
From Tom's hardware GPT offers:
- 18 exabyte maximum capacity
- Up to 128 partitions per disk
- Primary and backup partition tables available for redundancy
- Well-defined and self-identifying partition format
- Each partition has a unique ID to avoid identifier collisions (“GUID” partition table)
What does UEFI offer?
