Default Dynamic or basic?
I've been searching, and know the difference between the two, but I'm not sure which is better. Right now, I've got a 500gb hard drive that i bought a little while ago and I'm going to use it as backup. Now, which do i want, basic or dynamic? right now, i've got a 250 in dynamic, but i'm not sure if thats the best way to go. my main OS is on a raid 0 of 2 320gb seagates

All drives should be basic.

If a drive is out of a RAID config and shows dynamic the drive was initialized incorrectly at some point.
