dynamic disk
Last modified: Friday, July 06, 2007 

Supported by Windows 2000, dynamic disk is a physical disk initialized for dynamic storage. It holds simple volumes, spanned volumes, mirrored volumes, striped volumes, and RAID-5 volumes. With a dynamic disk you can perform disk and volume management without having to restart the operating system. Upgrading a basic disk to dynamic storage will render the entire disk unreadable to operating systems other than Windows 2000.

Contrast with basic disk.
