SAMIT: Should You Still Be Using Disk Partitions

@JasGot yup. One of the really nice features of Windows is that they can often insert an LVM layer without a lot of manual effort. On Linux that would be a pain in the butt after the fact.

Microsoft's Volume Management is handled in Storage Spaces.
I misspoke, even in the straight Dynamic Volumes today (since Windows 8 and Server 2012) LDM was replaced by SS as the LVM manager.

In a Windows world, it seems it would be better to create a Storage Space, because it gives you the flexibility to extend the storage instead of having to add/mount another virtual drive if you were to run out of space.

Exactly. Same logic applies universally, always best to have that flexibility on your platform. It has no real overhead, but protects against the unknown.
