dynamic vs basic disks

Even after reading this article I still don't get why I should (or shouldn't) upgrade disks from basic to dynamic.

I have a 2 box W2K network running mainly business apps, and I'm probably not going to raid. Is the main advatage of dynamic disks jsut the ease of altering the volumes on the fly?
 
"just" the ability to alter disks?

I'd say that's a pretty nice advantage.

All that extra control over your disks...

Personally, I think that anyone running 2000 should use dynamic disks.

Micrsoft has so meny problems that you may as well enjoy the advantages.
 
The reason I don't use dynamic disks is because you can't easily go back to basic disks if you ever have a need to.
 
well, I can see that being able to rearrange the volumes might have benefits down the road I guess, though honestly with 30GB volumes, its hard to imagine needing to have more space. So why would I want to go back to basic disks? I know I won't be dual booting, but what about drive cloning (DriveImage), backups and diagnostic tools (disk utilities) - will they work on dynamic disks?

thanks for your thoughts.
