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.
