I've read a lot about MBR's 2 TB limitation, but still am not sure if it's a drive limitation or partition limitation.
Has anyone here ever partitioned such a drive? Can it be done, and if so, can I use it as my main/boot drive or do I have to use it as secondary?
I'm planning on buying a large 3 or 4 TB internal HDD, but do not want to risk wasting money if it's going to be limited to just a single 2 TB partition.
P.S. I have an old, non-UEFI mainboard, so no GPT support. I'm using windows 10 64-bit.
