alerting

I have a windows 2012 server with 3 storage spaces set up, each containing a mirrored pair of 2TB drives.

What is the best way to set up alerting so that i receive an alert when a physical disk fails?

Ideally i would like these alerts to be sent via email to a pre-defined address.

The current server set up is as follows:

Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz Socket 1155 8MB Cache
Asrock H77 PRO4/MVP Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
16GB RAM
1 x 60GB SSD (OS)
6 x 2TB SATA III 7200 HDD (DATA)
