What type of volumes or partitions can be created on a basic disk?

Spanned volumes — Combines the disk space available in two or more hard disks to create a dynamic volume.

RAID-5 volumes — Stripes data and parity across three or more disks.

How is volume different than a disk or partition?

The main difference between a storage volume and partition is the type of disk used. A volume is created on a dynamic disk — a logical structure that can span multiple physical disks — while a partition is created on a basic disk. A volume is also more flexible than a partition.
