You could put them in Raid together but dont. It would be a waste of 250Gb of space on the Evo. They dont have to be the same capacity but they should be

Sell the 250GB one and buy 2 500GB EVOs, then put them in RAID0.

 

I have 2 Samsung EVOs in RAID0 and can tell the difference between a single SSD and 2 in RAID0. It is such a huge improvement.
