I want to expand my media player’s storage with a 4 TB external HDD. The media player does not support GPT, however, just MBR.
I read that MBR only allows a maximum partition size of 2 TB. Are external HDDs any different in that regard?
Can I use external HDDs larger than 2 TB with my media player?
Could I, for example, partition the HDD in two different 2TB partitions so the device could access them separately?
Does the external HDD even need MBR as boot record or could I use GPT on it for it to still work with the OS?
