Compare with the basic disk, dynamic disk has a lot more functions that basic disk doesn’t have. Just like create the basic volume, spanned volume striped volume, and mirrored volume and RAID5 volume on the dynamic disk. From here, the dynamic disk is more advantages; it can support the much better service of protecting information and improving read/write performance by the fault tolerance and striped quantity

 Here we highlight two dynamic volumes with fault toleranceC mirrored volume (provide data redundancy) and RAID5 (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks)! The former one anything can be written into the two disks simultaneously. Means that if disks fail or corrupt, you also have a backup to replace the failed or corrupted disks. The latter onecombined by striped volume and mirrored quantity, in other words, it combines the benefits of the two. So, you’ll realize that not only can be fault-tolerant but also can improve the read/write speed of information.

I think some of us have cleared about the procedure with the strategies to lengthen shrink and resize the powerful volume already (if you aren’t very clear, you can read the articleCDynamic Disk Partition Management and expand, Decrease, Adjust Dynamic Volume). However, there are lots of problems about the steps to finish such works. Not all of the Windows operating systems are able to lengthen shrink and resize the strong volumes, but we are able to execute these operations by means of the built-in disk manager of Windows7/Vista/2008.

 We introduce two ways about resizing the mirrored volume here. The reason why we pick these two methods about resizing the mirrored quantity is very simpletwo typical ways
 1. Distinct way

Break the mirror before resize it until completed.
Once again add mirror for the quantity.
 

2. An additional way (different from the distinct way totally).

Use the Powerful Disk Converter to convert strong disk to simple one.
Use the Partition Supervisor to resize the fundamental partition.
Once more convert the fundamental disk to powerful disk and add mirror to re-make it turn out to be mirrored level.
 

We are able to intuitively see it and learn to operate from the above. Mirrored volumes can’t be resized directly, so, we have to experience so several complicated and boring procedures to prolong, shrink and resize it. In addition to, the following two points you ought to know:

It is achievable to resize the simple level and spanned volume, but towards the striped volume and RAID5 quantity, that impossible (except the Windows7/Vista/2008, that’s mentioned over).
It isn’t available to shrink powerful quantity via the Windows built-in disk supervisor under the Windows XP/2000/2003. For basic volumes, it could be resized only by using the way of spanned volume when it’s too low disk area or we wish to increase more totally free space.
 

According to the over introduction, it seems that Windows7/Vista/2008 provided the much better disk partition manager services to users than XP/2000/2003. Even without the third-party partition software help, you still could lengthen, shrink and resize strong volume on difficult drives.
