- Description
- GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the standard format used to define the partitions of computer storage devices like hard disks using globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). It is also used on some BIOS systems to replace the early version master boot record (MBR) method, which supported up to 2.2TB partitions. GPT supports up to 18 Terabytes partitions.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
