* '''create''' a (new) software raid array. Think of two USB hard drives that you just bought and that you want to use in a RAID 1 configuration.
 
* '''assemble''' an (existing) array. Think of two USB hard drives that you have in your shelve and that you have already made to a RAID array using the ''create'' command. When you re-attach them to your computer, you need to tell the computer how the disks belong together (RAID 0 or RAID 1 for example). That is what the assemble command is for.
