The drives themselves are pretty fast on their own(talking about the Samsung 850's) but the question to ask you is what will you be tasking the RAID 0 array with the SSD's? Gaming? You'd be better off running each SSD as they are.

Welcome!

If you're after bench-marking numbers then the RAID 0 array will definitely be the route to take but if it's for gaming and productivity scenario's you should stick with the drives as is since a RAID 0 array, when damaged or corrupt, will require you to recreate the array and all the data on both the drives necessary for the RAID 0 array will be lost.

Also Raid 0 offers no redundancy. If one drive fails you loose all data.
You don't need to Raid your disks for normal PC use however go here for a better understanding of what Raid options you have. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/raid-levels-tutorial.
