Hi all, I popped in my new Ironwolf 14TB hardrive into my win10 machine and the first thing it asks is to initialize it using either MBR or GPT. this HDD will store a backup of my data. Which of those should I choose?
 
Solution
GPT! All drives over 2.2TB must be GPT initialized, and then select NTFS format type for Windows.

Otherwise you get a 2.2TB drive with a lot of unusable space.
