I currently have 5 hard drives available to use 2x250gb 1x500gb 1x750gb 1x1TB. I want to set up the 750gb and 1tb as a mirror for photos and home video backup from my primary machine on the network. The other three will then be set up as a simple disk for media (movies, tv shows, music). I don’t want all the disks in the same “storage spaces” set up because the small drive will limit the amount of space I can mirror, won’t it?

Is it possible to do this?

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831739(v=ws.11).aspx has info about storage spaces. Storage spaces are not like raid configurations we have been accustomed too. It's actually virtualization of the storage by creating a pool (total space available) then creating storage spaces that can have resiliency (mirror, parity, none) without regard for the physical layout or capacity of the drives. Ideally you could have same size drives then chop them up in storage spaces.
