Box 1: Add five physical disks.
Box 2: Create a storage space by using the default disk allocation.
Box 3: Create a virtual disk.

In Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces, a 3-way mirror requires at least 5 physical disks.
The reason is that a 3-way mirror uses a quorum. In order to keep running, the mirror space must keep over 50% of the disks functioning. So a 3-way mirror must have at least 5 physical disks to be able to survive the loss of up to 2 physical disks.

Moreover, we need to make a difference between storage space and storage pool:

A pool is simply a logical grouping of physical disks, whereas a storage space is a virtualized disk that can be used like a physical disk.
