Explanation
GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the modern partitioning standard that supports drives up to 9.4 zettabytes and allows up to 128 partitions on Windows. It can easily handle a single 8TB partition. FAT16 is limited to volumes of about 2GB. FAT32 supports volumes up to 2TB (with a maximum individual file size of 4GB). EFS (Encrypting File System) is a Windows file encryption feature, not a partition table scheme. Only GPT can support an 8TB drive with a single partition.
