dsc106 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have a 750gb drive for storing video, music, files, etc. Are there any benefits to have this drive use a GUID partition table over MBR, under OS X (Leopard)? Ie stability, speed, etc.? Or does it really not matter?

Falcon351 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'd say it's unlikely. The system would only read the partition table (be it MBR, APM, GPT or whatever else exists) when mounting the volume(s). The data stored within partition boundaries would depend only on the file system, apart from minor details such as BIOS PCs having boot loader code in the first sector.
