Parallel, or PATA, drives could, but usually only two per controller. Modern SATA controllers cannot. As SATA controllers are physically smaller, this is usually not a problem, as motherboards can have easily have multiple controllers.

What is the difference between disk duplexing or disk striping with parity?
Disk duplexing is where you're writing data to 2 or more disks, with each disk using its own controller. If one disk fails, the other disk continues to operate with no data loss. Even if you lose the disk controller, it is not a problem since you're using a separate controller for the other disk. It is considered an variation of RAID 1 disk mirroring. Disk striping does not duplicate data as in disk duplexing. It writes (stripes) data across 3 or more disks but uses parity checking for each disk. If one disk fails, the other drives can recreate the data stored on the failed one. It is considered RAID 5 level.
A disk marked as dynamic can be used with other dynamic disks in a spanned or volume?
Basic disks and dynamic disks are two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage. Dynamic disks can make use of multiple hard disks within a computer to duplicate data for increased performance and reliability.

What is the difference between partitioning and formatting?
disk partitioning is the act of dividing a hard disk into multiple logical storage units referred to mas part ions to treat one disk as if it were multiple disks. disk formatting is the process of preparing a data storage disk for initial use.
How do you change basic disk to active disk?
Start / run / compmgmt.msc / disk managment And work from there. You can format disks, partition disks, convert disks, change disk letters, set up raid etc from here.
What is the advantage of using a disk controller to control the hard disk?
The use of a separate disk controller frees the CPU to perform other tasks. In particular, the disk controller can manage DMA transfers, which otherwise would have to be done by the CPU. The disk controller also manages the movement of the disk head and reading or writing of the data on the disk. Again, without the disk controller, the CPU would be forced to perform these operations.
