| Creating dynamic volumes |
There may be times when you'll want to render a basic disk dynamic. Unlike the partition limit on basic disks, there is no limit to the number of volumes you can create on a dynamic disk, a feature
that can be useful when organizing large hard disks. You may choose to convert to dynamic disk because you need to create more divisions on the disk than would be possible using traditional partitioning. Another reason to upgrade to dynamic disks is to take advantage of fault tolerance; you cannot create fault-tolerant volumes on a basic disk. You can also extend volumes over multiple
disks. Be sure to consider which volume type best suits your needs for efficient use of disk space, performance, and fault tolerance.
