with level 0, it means that if any of your 5 disks, is bad,
than you lose all your data on all drives ( unless you know
what the state of each disk and its raid info is )

if you build it as raid5, and changed it to raid0 ...
you just shot your data on the disks

formatting is good .. but does that mean you want 5 disks
that are all tied to each other, making the 5 disks look like
1 big gigantic disk
