Dynamic Disk vs Basic Disk | EXPLAINED

Outstanding presentation, wow, such clarity is a real rarity....ha didn't mean to rhyme. As this was the 3rd try to get simply a general quick and dirty understanding and clear video explanation of the 2, that is, of Basic vs Dynamic setups and I do thank you, subbed, Liked and hope for another chance at a sense of clarity. Seriously considering Linux, after the uselessness of Windows 11 roll out, that for some reason they add clicks to send users to Settings where forced to a page formerly directly to a simple Control Panel page,they've added steps to, and while it's an eventuality to end up where you wanted to be, the glitch is if you're working on someone else's PC, and they see you appearing to know way less than you do, how embarassing, when you're supposed to be the know it all compared to them at least. It looks a lot less professional when I appear stumped as to questioning,mumbling to myself, wait what did I miss, heh heh
Peace thanks again

How can i convert Dynamic disk to basic without losing data

I have converted my basic disk to dynamic disk got a prompt "After you convert these disks to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on these disks (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to convert?", and my boot is on my c drive, if i restart my computer, will it not load the OS?

I have a question, my gaming hard drive is a gpt dynamic disk with a small 500mb partition and the rest of the 4tb drive is on another partition. Am I able to delete the small 500mb partition without losing data? It's hard to tell since dynamic disks merge multiple volumes on one disk, I just want to have one big partition and maybe later on convert the disk back to a basic disk since Linux can't read dynamic disks.

Dynamic disks don't support TRIM.
If you have a software RAID on Windows with SSD's, you can't TRIM them.
They will slow down as time fly by.

Dynamic disks have been deprecated from Windows and Microsoft does not recommend using them anymore. Microsoft recommends using basic disks or using the newer Storage Spaces technology when you want to pool disks together into larger volumes. The Dynamic Disks feature is no longer being developed and will be fully replaced by Storage Spaces in a future release. Also, every time you want to use a dynamic disk on a new computer, or even if you just remove and put it back in, you will have to manually import the dynamic disk. Changing a dynamic disk back to a basic disk requires the dynamic disk data to be deleted. And one last thing, MBR = 4 primary partitions while GPT = 128 partitions. MBR should not be used for a new disk.

Can i use a dynamic disk (laptop HDD) as an external HDD with suitable SATA TO USB?

Is better to use Dynamic disk or Basic disk for Windows 10 (system drive) on a NVME harddrive? And how can you convert to Dynamic or Basic disk? thx

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking for an explanation all day that I would understand on this topic

I converted my 2 TB storage disk to dynamic as it felt easier to recover space from less used partitions and add it up to my games storage partition. I noticed the disk began with an 100+ Gb as a reserved partition. It still has less than 300 Mb used, but I managed to reduce it to 4 GB. Now, if this partition houses the database that translates dynamic addressing to the physical disk underneath, then probably this database will become larger and larger, threatening at some point to hit take all the space available ?

hello, i mainly do gaiming im my pc. i accidentally comverted my main drive with windows on it, into a dynamic drive. will i notice any issues? or will i have to get it fixed by a professional. thanks

He said, "Basic disk support's multi boot environment in a computer" ! By that.... Does he mean dual booting partisan frm the same hdd/ssd?? or frm 2 or more separated drives as different boot d's in a computer.

Because.... I'w looking to set up a dual booting of Windows10 & Ubuntu in a m/c containing 3 drives.... So should i keep the 2 boot drives fr Win & Ubu(secondary) as Basic drives and the storage as Dynamic drive or do I've to config all 3 of them as Basic drives?

Coz i was thinking, i would convert all the drives to Dynamic drives and use 2 fr dual booting operating systems and 1 fr storage and marge the extra space of the 2nd optional boot drive with the storage drive. Can't i?

so. its all just RAID 0, 1, 10, 5?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking for an explanation all day that I would understand on this topic. You will be getting a subscribe from me as I take flight in my Tech journey.
