I have bought 2 Hdds and I am trying to mirror but ,I don't have to option on mirroring ,both of the Hdd were formatted and had a volume ,but since I looked online at tutorials ,I have found out that it needs to be a unlocated space .I did that but I still not have the option of mirroring .So that means I have to so it in the from bios instead of device management.
Using a Windows 10 .

On my main system, I have 5 drives.
4 with actual data.

Nightly, each gets backed up to an external location. In my case, a NAS box.
But that could be any external drive.
All automated on a schedule.

As well as the other two main systems in the house.

Images, with Macrium Reflect.

Why are you wanting to mirror these?
Also, more details about the rest of your system and usage.
