WHAT IS A HARD DRIVE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does GPT stand for?Hint:This is an area of the hard disk containing information about the disk partition and the type of storage media used
A
GUID partition table
B
GUID piece track
C
GUID partition track
D
GUID piece table
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The GUID Partition Table is specified in chapter 5 of the UEFI 2.8 specification. GPT uses 64 bits for logical block addresses, allowing a maximum disk size of 264 sectors. For disks with 512‑byte sectors, the maximum size is 8 ZiB (264 × 512‑bytes) or 9.44 ZB (9.44 × 10²¹ bytes).

Detailed explanation-2: -In this article GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks use 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 two terabytes (TB).

Detailed explanation-3: -The “GUID” in GUID partition table stands for “Globally Unique Identifier”. This identifier is a 128-bit number (16 bytes) that makes it possible to clearly identify files and documents and – in the case of hard drives – storage media and partition types.

Detailed explanation-4: -Features Of GPT Users can create multiple partitions. GPT disk system can create as many as 128 partitions. GPT disk system is a breakthrough when we talk about the limitation of MBR where only 4 primary partitions can be created. GPT disk style makes recovery of data an effortless task.

Detailed explanation-5: -On GPT drives, this is known as the EFI System Partition, or the ESP. This partition is usually stored on the primary hard drive.
