What is Dynamic disk?
A description of disk types that is used in Windows 2000 or later: a Basic disk contains simple volumes
(using the "old fashioned" partition table to describe partitions),
a Dynamic disk allows for more types of volumes such as spanned/mirrored/raid/striped.
A Dynamic disk is a physical disk with features that basic disks do not have,
such as support for volumes spanning multiple disks.
It supports volumes that span multiple disks such as striped volume, RAID-5 volume, etc.
With a dynamic disk you can perform disk and volume management without having to restart the operating system.
Dynamic disks use a hidden database
to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and other dynamic disks in the computer.
Dynamic disk management is a data/hard disk management method on the Windows platform,
first introduced with Windows 2000 operating system.
Tips: Dynamic disks can be made by converting the basic disks. This can be done by using Disk Management
or the disks converter utility. When a basic disk is converted into a dynamic disk,
all existing basic volumes become dynamic volumes.
