Dynamic Disks and Volumes
Dynamic disk storage supports volume-oriented disks. You create the following volume types only on dynamic disks:
• New simple volumes.
• Volumes that span multiple disks (spanned volumes and
striped volumes).
• Volumes that are fault-tolerant (mirrored volumes and RAID-5 volumes).
Volumes on dynamic disks are called dynamic volumes. Dynamic disks can support up to 2,000 dynamic volumes per disk (although the recommended number of volumes is 32 or less per disk).
Local access to dynamic volumes (and to the data that the dynamic volumes contain) is limited to Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft
Windows XP Professional-based computers. You cannot create dynamic volumes on (or access dynamic volumes from) a Windows XP Professional-based computer that has one or more of the following operating systems running:
• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and earlier
• Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
• Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition and earlier
• MS-DOS
