EaseUS Partition Master (all paid versions)
Description:
Compare with the basic disk, dynamic disk provides higher efficiency and more flexibility. However, it is with less compatibility and requires more computing skills to manage. With EaseUS Partition Master, you can easily interconvert the disks between basic and dynamic without any data loss.
Here are the steps to convert a dynamic disk to basic:
1. Click on the “Disk Converter” option and find “Dynamic to Basic”
2. Select the dynamic disk to convert.
3. The operation will be pended until applied in Pending Operation list. Click Execute operation when you are ready to proceed.
The same procedure when converting basic disk to dynamic. Please check the screenshot.
Tips:
◆ This feature can only process dynamic disk with simple and mirrored volumes. The other types of dynamic disk, such as spanned volume and striped volume, are not supported.
◆ To convert a dynamic disk containing mirrored volumes to a basic disk, please break the mirrored volumes before converting.
◆ Converting dynamic disk to basic will not cause data loss, however, to avoid data loss caused by other uncertain computer factors, we recommend you back up the disk before any operation!
