VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows: The Dynamic Disk Advantage - Comparing Dynamic Disks to Basic Disks

Overview When Microsoft introduced the Windows 2000 operating system, they introduced a new way of managing disks and the capacity they contained. Developed in conjunction with VERITAS Software, Disk Management in Windows 2000 uses the concept of dynamic disks to allow users to dynamically configure their storage i.e. no reboots. The default disk type, referred to as basic, allows for the creation of partitions and logical drives, much in the same vein as Disk Administrator in Windows NT. Dynamic volumes are configured on dynamic disks.
