Q: QuestionWhat kind of format does it use? My motherboard doesn't like hard drives that are in GPT format, it would need to be in MBR for it to function

Asked 6 months ago by Emerald.

• A:Answer Hello, thanks for getting in touch, The Crucial BX500 2TB Internal SSD can be initialized in either GPT (GUID Partition Table) or MBR (Master Boot Record) format, depending on your system requirements. By default, Windows may prompt you to initialize the SSD as GPT, but you can manually select MBR during the setup process in Disk Management.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with a ps5

Asked 11 months ago by Pepito.

• A:Answer No, this is a SATA (Serial ATA) drive. You need an M.2 drive for your PS5. I'd suggest something like a Crucial T500 2tb. You would be looking at around $150.
