What Is GUID Partition Table
GUID Partition Table (GPT), developed by Intel in the late 1990’s, is a standard for the layout of the partition table on a physical storage device like a hard disk drive or solid-state drive, using globally unique identifiers (GUID).
It was introduced as a part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard. GUID partition table is created to replace MBR (Master Boot Record) partition table and uses 32 bits to save logical block address and size.
Nowadays, many people use GUID partition table disk as it supports large drives and Windows allows up to 128 partitions on a GPT drive, while MBR only support disks up to 2 TB in size and only four primary partitions or 3 primary partition and one extended partition can be created on an MBR disk.
