windows - Basic Disk and Dynamic Disk vs. Primary Partition and Extended Partition and Logical Partition

I am trying to understand how disk partitioning works. I have learned that first you create a Partition Table, and then you partition your disk the way you are allowed in the Partition Table that you specified.


If you select the MBR Partition Table, the you can create 4 Primary Partitions, or 3 Primary Partitions and 1 extended Partiton, and the extended partition can be used to create 28 Logical Partitions (not sure about this number).


But now I am introduced to the terms Basic Disk and Dynamic Disk, what are these terms, are they Microsoft specific or something?
