From what I have read, RAID0 will just go as fast as your slowest disk.

Almost 2X faster.

writes will be as fast as the slowest disk; reads will be faster.

Eh?  I think the more correct way to phrase RAID0 characteristics over
*any* selection of disks is that the minimum theoretical speed for the
overall array when it comes to sequential reads *and* writes is
n*speed_slowest_disk, where n is the number of drives in the array.
