There is no GPT *file* format. If you want to use a partition then
decide on what *file system* you want inside of it, like NTFS. GPT is
the *partitioning scheme*.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

In that case how does it fit when wiki says "Because partition tables on
master boot record (MBR) disks support only partition sizes up to 2 TB,
dynamic or GPT volumes must be used to create NTFS volumes over 2 TB"
My boot drives are small ssd's running mbr and these bigger 4TB drives
are only for media storage or have i got the wrong end of the stick (not
unusual i know)

Jim

Now i'm confused (

According to EaseUS it's saying
"File System is NTFS"
"Disk Type is GPT"

So am i right in thinking then that anything BELOW 2TB will be
FAT32/NTFS/ExFAT etc that being the "File System" and anything above 2TB
CAN be formatted to NTFS as well but will be GPT because it's over 2 TB?
