Už v minulém článku Mám disk 3 TB, ale vidím jen 2TB nebo Disk o velikosti 3 TB a problémy nebo Limit 2 TB HDD - diskový oddíl je větší než 2 TB

Ke kterým os MS Windows lze připojit 3 TB HDD ?

Obšírná odpověď včetně popsání výhod GPT tabulky (oproti dnes často používané MBR) je zde:

A GPT disk uses the GUID partition table (GPT) disk partitioning system. A GPT disk offers these benefits:

• Allows up to 128 primary partitions. Master Boot Record (MBR) disks can support up to four primary partitions and an additional 124 partitions inside extended partitions.
• Allows a much larger partition size--greater than 2 terabytes (TB), which is the limit for MBR disks.
• Provides greater reliability because of replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.
• Can be used as a storage volume on all x64-based platforms, including platforms running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a storage volume on x86-based Windows platforms.
• Can be used as a boot volume on x64-based editions of Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a boot volume on Itanium-based systems.
  Note: Windows only supports booting from a GPT disk on systems that contain Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot firmware.
