I've created a zpool in raidz1 configuration with:

 zpool create  zbk raidz1  c3d0 c4d0 c4d1

This is not a very useful configuration. With this number of disks, it is best to use two of them to build a mirror, and save the other disk for something else (e.g. to build a mirrored root pool). Mirrors perform better, are more fault tolerant, and are easier to administer.

With five disks, raidz1 becomes useful.
