Summary:: Step-by-step tutorial to resize dynamic volume with EaseUS Partition Master on Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and Server 2003/2008/2012.

In general, you need to resize dynamic volume when:

You find your data volume is running low disk space, you want to increase more free space for it.
You want to stripe a volume to span multiple hard drives because striping volume can improve the read/write speed of data for all files and data are read from and written to simultaneously multiple hard disks.
