Note the difference between a tebibyte (TiB 1024^4 bytes) and a terabyte (TB 1000^4 bytes). Note that this is independent of the name of the filesystem contained in the partition. Provides a UTF partition description field, so you can give your partitions names.Provides checksums of important data structures, which enables detection of some types of partition table damage.Provides duplicate partition table structures at the start and end of the disk, which makes recovery from some types of user errors, bugs, and disk damage possible.(Even on MBR, CHS is useless on disks over about 8GB, though, so there's little risk of real conflict on modern hard disks, which are much bigger than this.) Uses LBA addressing exclusively, compared to MBR's dual use of LBA and CHS.Uses GUIDs as type codes, which means there's less risk of conflicting/duplicate codes.Supports more than four partitions, with no distinction between primary, extended, and logical partitions.
