USB 3.0 external hard drive 3+ TB GPT NTFS
I am aiming to get a USB 3.0 external hard drive of at least 3 TB to be formatted as a single user-data partition using the GPT organisation and NTFS, and to have it visible by Windows 10 and by Windows 7 (actually WS2008R2 SP1).
Searching gives a number of views. One of these is that it will work in Windows 7 but not in Windows 10 (although this problem may perhaps have been fixed for more recent Editions of Windows 10?).
Please could someone tell me the actual situation from their personal experience? I don't want to spend around £100 for (say) a 4 TB drive and find it won't work without using MBR and two NTFS partitions... Thanks!
