Issues Involved In Converting Basic Disks To Dynamic Disks

2005-10-21T09:38:00.000-07:00

Fri > order_cc
One of the Windows Server 2003 features that I ve always found most useful is the ability to convert basic disks to dynamic disks The advantage of doing this is that the Windows operating system allows you to span a single volume across multiple dynamic disks By spanning a volume across multiple disks you can create a larger volume than what a single disk can hold you can achieve better performance than what a single disk would provide you with and you can even achieve a degree of fault tolerance against hard disk failure Even with all of these benefits there are some serious issues that you need to be aware of before you even think about converting a basic disk into a dynamic disk In this article I will discuss these issues more inf

Computers running Windows operating systems always seem to have a way of slowing down over time If your server seems to be running more slowly than it should then you have a couple of choices You can add some extra memory and maybe a processor or two and hope for the best or you can figure out why the server is running so slowly There are lots of different things that can cause a server to run slowly In this article I will explain how you can use some of Windows built in diagnostic tools to determine the cause of your server s sub par performance more inf
