Techopedia Explains Logical Drive

Th logical drive is part of a physical disk drive. It is primarily used to organize the storage capacity of a physical disk drive into smaller and logical drive units. A physical disk drive can have one or more drives depending on the capacity of the base physical HDD and the operating system support. The data stored in a logical drive is directly stored on the physical drive but is logically separated from other logical drives.
