Question Does formatting an SSD as MBR hurt it?

Can formatting an SSD as MBR for nas use hurt it?
It wouldn't be used much but always powered on.

No it won't.
But why?

Well, I actually managed to get the pc to work right. Now the usb drive FreeNAS is on is GPT and the main storage ssd is also GPT.

I still have a problem tho. I am following this guide and stuck at 8:36.
Everything works fine up until this point.

Although I found the correct Netmask in ipconfig, Im not sure what IP i can use there. How to check?
If i fill in the IP with the same one shown the browser freezes and my nas goes offline on the old or new IP. A reinstall and reformat of all of the drives on the nas is required

How do I do this correctly?

Specs of NAS:
Pentium N3530
8GB DDR3
120GB SSD (will expand later)
8gb usb 2 drive running FreeNAS 11.1 u7

Nevermind. I tried a random IP and it worked.

Disks are GPT.

By the way, do you know why FreeNAS will see a USB memory stick but not an external usb hdd?

I believe it may be since the HDD has some data on it.
