Ok something is wrong here. How can I see which HDD is failing. I am not sure if it could just be 1 or both, I just don't know.
The guy that built my computer says it's the mobo that is not accepting my RAID-0 set up. (ASUS M3A78-CM)
 
don't judge too fast, i have no experience with storage really but i will try to answer you as far as i know as i set up a RAID10,5,0 Arrays :)
for the RAID0 array you'v set up if the status is Fail you gotta back up your data and reassign the array from the beginning as long as you won't be able to re-build a raid0 array
for the low scores you had with crystal disk mark, i suggest you do a clean format and try to benchmrak each drive alone then put them back on a RAID0 and see what happens
