What is dynamic disk?
If you have not used dynamic disk, you may not know what dynamic disk is. In fact, as early as Windows 2000 was released, the concept of dynamic disk is introduced, and it is added to Windows built-in
disk management tool. Dynamic disk manage disk space in the way of volume, and we can create simple volume, spanned volume, striped volume, mirrored volume and RAID 5 volume on dynamic disk. The main difference between dynamic disk and basic partition exists in many aspects. For example, partition or volume number is different; we can extend and convert volumes freely while we can not realize these operations on basic partition; we can create a volume using free space coming from different disks; there are volumes with fault tolerance feature, RAID 5 for example, but partition does not have this feature,.

Actually, it is very easy to convert basic disk to dynamic disk. Windows built-in disk management tool can realize conversion. Steps are as follows:
However, we must know converting basic disk to dynamic disk with built-in disk management tool will damage data though it will not bring any data damage. Therefore, we must backup data before we convert dynamic disk to basic disk. Of course, we also need to manage dynamic disk with MiniTool Partition Wizard which is another excellent partition magic after Power Quest Partition Magic, making us experience advantages of dynamic disk.
