Hi Paul
Um, I hope so, all of my devices are type GPT with a Disk Identifier
(GUID) as opposed to type dos (legacy/mbr) ;)

Thanks, Malcolm. I took some time to read about GUID partitions, but was
not sure, since the Drive Info only spoke of Win & Mac. It also said it
would not work with Win version prior to Vista or Win 7. There was no
mention of Linux. The file system on it is NTFS which I know TW can read.
My plan is for a backup drive for TW via Clonezilla or something like it.

Thanks,
Paul

An MBR partitioned disk can only use 2tb of that disk, a GPT partitioned
disk has no disk size limit that I know of. You're free to repartition
your 2tb disk to dos type partitioning if you must but GPT is the future
and is necessary for disks larger than 2tb. The file system on each
partition regardless of partitioning schemes is your choice, ext4 is
widely used in Linux but is not the only one.

I have never read about "GUID partitions".

GPT partitions, yes, of course they are supported.

NTFS is supported, but not fully. If you must use a Windows filesystem
on an external disk, use exfat.
