Unless you're planning on dedicating a pair of disks for your OS, I
would recommend this approach. Putting your database on the same disk
as your recordings is already highly advised against. Putting it as a
mirrored partition on a pair of recording disks would only exacerbate
the issue.
Have one disk that you use for the OS and non-recorded video storage.
Have the other disk that you use for recordings, and storage for
database backups and any other important files from your OS disk.
