We won't be able to really give you a definitive answer unless you give us the drives.

Hey there SuperCookie78,
 
Having two drives in RAID0 does give you a good speed boost. You can have a basic idea of the speed that you will be getting by multiplying the speed of the slowest drive by the number of the drives and then multiply the result by 0.85 (roughly) and you should get a good estimate of what you will be seeing as performance. If you don't mind the higher risk of data loss it can be a good improvement especially for older drives. :)
