How to properly implement RAID1 in virtualization?

Question

Virtualization

Good afternoon!
There is such hardware available: Asus H81M-E / Intel Pentium G3420 / 8gb Kingston / 2x 1Tb WD Caviar Red [WD10EFRX] SATA-3 / 1x 500gb WD5000AAKX
I will make a reservation in advance that before that there was neither virtualization experience nor experience of raising RAID1.
In general, I plan to install a hypervisor (presumably Hyper-V). Raise 2 VMs on it

1. Win2012 (AD+DNS+WSUS)
   
2. Win2012 (Fileserver + backups from other machines) or Samba
   

Please tell me how to organize all this on the existing hardware? Where (from under what) to lift RAID1?
It is possible to give up mother to mother, with a built-in RAID (most likely fakeRAID) controller.
I also have a flash drive, I can upload a hypervisor to it, or to a 500gb WD5000AAKX.
How to do it better?

Answer 1

The first question is why do you need raid1. Do you really need the amount of fault tolerance in a single drive? Or do you hope to provide yourself with a backup in this way?

Answer 2

RAID1 is the so-called full mirroring. Written data blocks are duplicated at the controller level, so there is no danger of losing the latter during synchronization.
RAID1 is implemented again at the level of the RAID controller, i.e. the piece of iron is configured through a special menu, which can be accessed by pressing a certain key at the time of system startup.
I set this up a week ago on a different piece of hardware.
