Basic Disks Vs Dynamic DiskBasic Disks
It provides segregated space to organize the data
It can be divided into four primarypartitons or up tothree primary partition and one extended partition.
Dynamic Disks A dynamic disk can be used to create volumes that
span multiple disks
There is no limit on the number of volumes per disk
that canbe configured on a dynamic disk Used to create fault-tolerant disks that ensure data
