Basic storage involves dividing a disk into primary and extended partitions. This is the route that all versions of Windows that were reliant on DOS-handled storage took, and disks formatted in this manner are known as basic disks. Volumes can use any supported file system. The feature makes the storage device more efficiency, but although makes them difficult for conventional disk image software to handle.
Generally speaking, dynamic disks can contain an unlimited volume of data, but they cannot contain partitions or logical drives. Dynamic disks offer more management flexibility without the partition limitation of conventional storage. Volumes in dynamic disks can span several physical disks, or be striped across multiple disks for better performance. Volumes in dynamic disks can also be mirrored or set up as a RAID 5 array. Dynamic volumes can even be confined to a single disk. Since you can perform disk and volume operations on dynamic disks without restarting Windows, dynamic storage gives storage users multiple options to deal with the rising volume of data.
While dynamic disks offer new powerful tools, there are also some serious limitations that aren’t present with conventional drives. Many of these limits are related to restoration. Dynamic storage can scatter pieces of data across several drives, which means that many conventional disk imaging tools that read blocks off the disk won’t capture a usable image.
