yes its the same idea as a traditional drive, when you raid them it will be 120x2 leaving you with a partition on the 240gb drive of 120gb give or take a bit

depends on what your motherboard supports, most boards use either marvell or intel, just make sure the drives are plugged into and running off the same chipset when you enable raid

Ok there are many guide online, the sata connectors on the board are color coded just look in your manual for which ones are the 6gb/s ports and plug both ssd's into those ports after that lookup a guide on setting up raid, its pretty straight forward and i think with the sabertooth while its posting you have to press ctrl and i though i could be wrong as its been a while since i used a sabertooth

Just remember to back them up, if one of the drives fail you'll lose all data that was on them.
