Under "Resilient storage", I see

"Mirror. Writes data in a stripe across multiple disks while also
writing one or two extra copies of the data. Use the mirror layout for
most workloads – it helps protect your data from disk failures and
provides great performance, especially when you add some SSDs to your
storage pool and use storage tiers."

Is this telling me what I hope it is: that I could set up a Storage
Space across a dozen or so drives and have up to two drives fail without
losing data?

Would this be the same as what we use to call it when we partitioned a
disk. As I read it they are mirroring disk partition 1 (C) to disk
partition 2 (D).

With the size of disk today that would be a very affective way use of
the disk.

I have a 2TB disk on my desktop and a 500GB disk on my laptop that is
synchronized to the desktop. I am using about 100GB of space on my
laptop, so would have the same on the Desktop or about 100GB out on 2 TB
of storage space,
