No. You have to remember that a portion of it is going to be used for the OS, swap and tmp files. so you'll have 1 drive with maybe 1.6 TB of space and one with 1.8TB.
Formatted space is always smaller, my 4TB drives come in with 3.8TB of space, and you really should only use around 80% to 85% of the drive, otherwise it starts to take a performance hit when writing data to the drive.
Not really a good idea anyway unless you have another option setup for backing up your server on a daily basis
Good luck!
