A technician is partitioning a hard disk. The five primary partitions should contain 4TB of free space. Which of the following partition styles should the technician use to partition the device?
Master Boot Record (MBR) disks use the standard BIOS partition table. GUID partition table (GPT) disks use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than 2 terabytes (TB).
B. GPT (GUID Partition Table)
To create five primary partitions each containing 4TB of free space, you should use the GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition style. GPT supports larger partition sizes and can handle drives with capacities exceeding 2TB, making it the appropriate choice for working with large storage devices like a 20TB hard disk that needs to be divided into five 4TB partitions.
MBR (Master Boot Record) partition style is limited in its support for large drives and partitions, and it wouldn't be suitable for managing a 20TB drive with 4TB partitions.
EFS (Encrypting File System) and FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32) are not partition styles; they are file system formats used within partitions.
