Is it worth it to convert to dynamic disks? Are there any performance gains?
Some info I found:
"A disk initialized for basic storage is called a basic disk. It can hold primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives
With dynamic storage, you can hold simple volumes, spanned volumes, mirrored volumes, striped volumes, and RAID-5 volumes and can perform disk and volume management without having to restart the operating system."
So, the real advantage of a dynamic disk is that it makes volumes, whereas basic disks make partitions. So, if I had two 200GB drives and I wanted them to show up as one 400GB drive, I would have to convert them to dynamic drives, and create one spanned volume, yes? But why not just go with a RAID configuration in that case . . .
