Those saying that he's talking fast, just slow down the playback speeds and stop the negative comments. He's really made the effort to make this informative video and he deserves some understanding and more thumbs ups

You video closed my question that I searched online for a long time with luck. Thanks!
Btw, can you confirm that I won't lose existing data when doing converting from basic to dynamic ?

You can change a Dynamic disk to a Basic disk without data loss IF you use software like EaseUS. Dynamic disks have been deprecated from Windows and Microsoft does not recommend using them anymore. Microsoft recommends using basic disks or using the newer Storage Spaces technology when you want to pool disks together into larger volumes. The Dynamic Disks feature is no longer being developed and will be fully replaced by Storage Spaces in a future release. Also, every time you want to use a dynamic disk on a new computer, or even if you just remove and put it back in, you will have to manually import the dynamic disk.

Currently I have 3 internal SSD drvies (o)(P)(S). I want to install NMVE drive on the motherboard large enough to hold all info but keep the three drive letters. So if I understand I will install NVME drive large enough, then create as dynamic, then creat 3 spaces using each drive letter of the old drives?

One can change both their additonal SSD's and their HDD's to dyynamic which would increase the capacity of the disk their C dirve is on. However if the c is on an SSD it will operate the same as it does if it were on an HDD if and when an HDD is changed to dynamic. Thus defeating the purpose.
Suggestion is to only change additional SSD's to dynamic and leave the HDD as is, basically only for storage.

How to change disk dynamic to basic if it is SYSTEM DISC C:?
Is reinstal win 10 only way? Will my ssd disc become basic after reinstalling?

Hey man!
Quick one, hope you can help.

Let's say I have disk1 used for storage purposes only (volume G:) and the space is running out, I have disk 2 that is not allocated. Now I have merged Disk1 & Disk2 & created a Dynamic disk (Volume G is now made of disk1 & 2). What happens if one of the Disks fails? I am going to lose the volume?


Thanks.

I had to move space from one particion to other and then I had an ingormation about convert to dynamic disc. After it I had THREE PARTICIONS D😳 when I deleted one, which had this empty space, all three disappear🤯 What to do now❓

[ricardozhang]

So if you want to convert the disk with disk management you got to make sure there’s no partition on the disk which is not possible for an old disk, in this case aomei partition assistant could help it saved my disk, cheer!

It's really not that bad, I'm listening to this video with the speed at 1.5x. I'm trying to watch as many video on the subject. So normal or slower speed is a no go for me.

[lightningspeed]

so what's the conclusion, is dynamic disk risky ?

[Vicky-zduv]

diskmanagement will make data loss you should tell that, if convert disk with data you can use aomei, this tool will not delete your partitions

[davidquezada]

I converted to dynamic and I can't do anything of these
It runs baldy too

[sparkinglegends]
