Rhetorical question: when marking an external hard into one large partition, is it better to make it primary or logical?

Question

Hard disks

I mark up a new two-terabyte railway for a portable "file dump". To be on it one large partition, most likely NTFS (so that you can come with it to a friend and connect it to his Windows computer without any problems) with some large (16 or 32 KB) sector size. Attention a question: it is better to make this section logical or primary?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far , far awayin the days of Windows 98 and earlier, the answer was unequivocally "logical" since the system put all primary partitions in front of logical ones, and if there was a primary partition on the brought hard, then it stuck in front of partition D of the main railway. Now this reason is gone, but subjectively the hand still reaches out to make the non-system partition logical, while common sense seems to say that with less than 4 partitions on the disk, logical partitions are not needed.

Are there any more or less objective arguments in favor of this or that option?

Answer 1

Primary only. A logical partition is, roughly speaking, a partition within a partition.

Answer 2

Do the main one, although it is not very clear what demons have to do with it. I quote:
> come with him to a friend and connect to his without any problems ...

Answer 3

There was no such problem in the days of Windows 98 (I can’t say about distant galaxies), always the only partitions were primary.
If the drive is not a system drive, then it can be reassigned. It does not depend on the partition type.

Answer 4

Considering that the beginning of the partition will be either on the 64 or 2048 sector, there will be enough space to make it temporarily logical as a last resort =)
And one more question after that: given that 2TB is the limit for an MBR with a classic 512b sector, how what about the MBR with 4kb sector?
