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.
