Various disk types

ivlatt

Hi
Does anyone have\had an issue with remembering the many different disk types?
E.g. dynamic, basic, extended, simple volume, spanned volume...etc
I know and understand the various RAID setups and file systems but having a real problem remember the various disk types
Does anyone have a recommended method or anything to learn these? Also are they really that compulsary or is it something I can pickup later as or when required by physical experience : From what I understand i've always just used a basic volume, nvr needed anything else
Cheers in advance

Do you have a VM you can play around with? It's a breeze to add more disks to that, and just playing around with that for a few minutes will make everything crystal clear.
