Dynamic disk? (AKICILJ)

Does anyone here have experience of a "dynamic disk"? It appears to be something that can be done under Windows XP and has options including setting up RAID 5 on one disk. I asked [personal profile] cattitude for his opinion of that versus a basic disk, and he'd never heard of dynamic disks.

So, the questions are, does this have any clear advantages, what are the disadvantages, and is it supported under Windows 7?

ETA: [personal profile] spacecrab answered this: it's a server thing and not actually relevant to anything I'd be doing.
