Detailed explanation-1: -A dynamic disk is a hard disk initialized to use dynamic storage technology. A dynamic disk storage provides the flexibility to logically organize disk space across one or more disk drives. It was first introduced with Windows 2000.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basic disks are the same types used in older versions of Windows and NT and are limited in what they can do. Basic disks can support up to four primary partitions or three primaries and one extended. Dynamic disks are more flexible than basic disks and can span multiple volumes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dynamic disks provide features that basic disks do not, such as the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks (spanned and striped volumes) and the ability to create fault-tolerant volumes (mirrored and RAID-5 volumes).

Detailed explanation-4: -There are various links explaining about basic disk and dynamic disk. If I am right, volume created at the time of Windows installation is basic disk and volume created after Windows installation is dynamic disk. Because of disk health, faster response and data safety; one of techies recommend for basic disk.

Detailed explanation-5: -What Does Dynamic Disk Mean? Dynamic disks are logical disks that have the ability to utilize multiple hard disks in the computer to provide disk redundancy and mirroring as well as an increase in performance and reliability.
