Hello, I just installed my Kingston 480GB SATA SSD and am looking for guidance on the setup. I’m not sure whether to use MBR or GPT, but I’ve read a lot but it’s confusing. The diagram you mentioned clarifies things. Thanks for your help!

GPT is the standard I think of. Short names work well, like KS480.

GPT is the format you need for older systems like Windows XP.
