GPT is capable of handling bigger hard drives and a greater number of partitions than MBR. MBR supports only up to a 2TB drive size and four primary partitions. On the other hand,
MBR versus GPT allows for larger than 2TB drives and supports a very high number of partitions - usually 128 on Windows platforms.

Due to the above features, GPT is a more appropriate choice for up-to-date storage devices and systems. In case you are dealing with large drives or requiring numerous partitions, GPT should be your preferred option over MBR.
