Immediately after buying the structure, if you connect it to a PC and go to disk management, it will offer to initialize it into one of the structures.

No.
MBR or GBT are ways to partition partitions on a disk.
Which one you need and choose.
What's with the SSD?

1) the new ones are clean and unallocated
2) you choose the layout yourself during initialization and can then change it at least 100500 times when fully formatting or converting from MBR to
GPT will choose
4) the meaning of manual selection only plays if the disk already has data in some kind of markup
Well, and most importantly:
5) when writing a flash drive, you select the markup not for the disk, but for the flash drive ITSELF so that the BIOS / UEFI correctly recognized and found the bootloader on it.
6) so if the motherboard is fresh, install most likely GPT. so as not to butt with the legacy mod, although there may be troubles

You don't have to define anything, it's your choice. However, it used to be like this, but now there is not much choice on new computers, their firmware is such that it will not allow you to partition the disk in MBR (then it will simply not be visible in the list of disks). Yes, and Winda also tends to G P T.
So if your computer is new, you can not bother with this choice and immediately do it in GPT (more precisely, agree with what the installer will offer you).
