    Why would you make a 5tb dynamic drive if you don't have the space available..?

    You're asking if you can fit 5tb of data on a drive less than that size... Think about what you're saying.

    Look, dude, you can only fit so much data on a drive... You're literally asking if you can just cram more data into a drive than it physically allows.

    It's like asking if you can fit five gallons of water in a single gallon drum; it's a very illogical question.

    No. You can't do this, as Maggot said, it is physically impossible. If you create a virtual hard drive of 5TB (which is ridiculous in its self) you HAVE to have that space available.
