Storage spaces on a 2 physical drive Server best practices.

Hi, I need some help/advise so to configure a server that i rent, in a way to use storage spaces.

1.Server is a Hyper-v host

2.it has total of 2 physical drives(2TB each)

i want to set it up in a way to use storage spaces but also protect boot volume (in case the first Physical Drive fails to be able to continue work without interruption). Previously i was using windows mirroring(converted the 2 physical disks to dynamic disks and setting up mirroring).

Can i resize the first physical drive e.g 500Gb, convert that to dynamic,setup mirroring on the 500gb to second physical drive, and use the 1.5TB from the first physical drive and 1.5Tb from the second physical drive to be used for storage spaces?

Thanks,
