RAID on 2 different SSDs

Hej, so I was wondering if I can raid my 2 different SSDs, to get a r/w boost on them.

 

Question:

Will it work, if yes, what restrictions?

What do I need for it?

Can I already do it with my motherboard?

 

SSDs:

Samsung 1Tb (520r/560w)

aData 500Gb (not sure of the r/w, but considerably slower)

MoBo:

Asus FX99A5 pro something (can't remember exactly. MoBo for the am3 platform)

 

If you need help on used parts, contact me. I'm an used enthusiast.

No, but it does not matter, outside of benchmarks there isnt even a tangible difference in everyday use of common applications noticable to the user between the most expensive of nvme vs a decent sata ssd.
