UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) offers better support for large storage devices compared to traditional BIOS. This is because UEFI can handle drives that are larger than 2 TB, thanks to its use of the GUID Partition Table (GPT) instead of the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by BIOS. MBR has limitations on partition size and the total number of partitions that can be created, which can pose issues for modern high-capacity drives. UEFI's capability to manage larger drives facilitates more efficient usage of storage resources and is aligned with advancements in modern computing needs where larger and faster disks are commonplace.

The other aspects noted about the other choices, such as slower boot times or less compatibility with hardware, don't reflect UEFI's functionalities, as UEFI is designed to boot faster and support modern hardware standards better than BIOS. UEFI typically includes a user interface, while traditional BIOS is often text-based and lacks a sophisticated graphical interface.
