Dynamic disks are formatted with the Windows dynamic disk format, which enables them to have multiple partitions and support features such as mirroring and striping. Dynamic disks also allow volumes to span multiple disks. Basic disks, on the other hand, are disks that are formatted with the basic disk format and are limited to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition which can be further divided into multiple logical drives. Basic disks do not support features such as mirroring or striping and cannot span multiple disks.
