What Status Indicators Apply Only To Dynamic Disks? (Choose All That Apply.)

What status indicators apply only to dynamic disks? (Choose all that apply.)

• Active.
• Unallocated.
• Foreign drive.
• Health (At risk).

Answer: foreign drive and health (At risk) is the status indicator applied only to dynamics disks.

The answer to the question is determined but let’s focus on the dynamics disk its definition storage and the difference between basic disk and the dynamics disks.

Dynamic disk:

The physical device can manage the volume with the help of the LDM database. Logic Disk Manager (LDM) is a 1MB database that is present in the dynamic disk. All the knowledge of volume is placed in the single disk by the dynamic disk and also contains some other information of each dynamics disk as the size of the volume, the volume of the file system, volume label, etc.,

The dynamic disk contains the assigned information if multiple disks are present in a computer. This also means all the disks are different and have no connection among them. The relevant information of the dynamics disks gives access to check “Missing” disk on the system disk management when someone deletes it from the device. And all the activities and information store in an LDM database also depict the importance of the LDM which is equal to the partitionable of the basic disks.

In the dynamic disk, there is a space that has the information of the partition disk and it is called the MBR. The table is not the same as the basic disks, its purpose is to make the disk manager and windows have the knowledge that the disk is the dynamic disk. While the end of the dynamic disk is occupied by the LDM database. 

Dynamic disk functions

The functions performed by the dynamic disk are described in the following section:

• The disk can create and remove the simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volume.
• The volume of simple and spanned cans increased by the disk.
• The mirror and the RAID-5 volumes can be repaired by disk.
• Activate the missing and the offline disk.

Let’s check at the difference between the dynamic disks and the basic disks below:

• In the basic, the regular partition table used which are present in MS-DOS and windows that can manage the partition on hard disks. While in the dynamic disk the hard drive has its own volumes.
• In a basic disk, the maximum limit of the hard drive partition is 3 to 4 and the secondary-extended partition is only one. in the dynamic disk, the secondary-extended partition is not limited.
• The basic disk has two types of partition one is MBR partition, other is GPT partition, while in the dynamic the partition is not present instead the simple volumes, spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, and RAID-5 volumes are present.
• The basic disk without any loss is converted to a dynamic disk, while the dynamic disk is converted to a basic with the deletion of entire volumes.
• The basic disk assists the multi-boot configuration while the dynamic disk rejects it.
• The basic disk can easily install on the old system while the dynamic disk support windows 2000 and so on.
