+You can create a Raid 0 device with
+`mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb`
+where `sda` and `sdb` are the disks you want to include in your raid.
+You can increase the number of raid devices, but they have to be at least 2.
+If it is an uneven amount of disks in the raid, a disk will act as a spare disk.
