What I mean is, if I take two SSDs that can obtain speeds like 250MB/s and make a RAID array will it be limited to 300MB/s because they are Sata II, even though the motherboard used has a Sata III bus?

A SATA II drive on a SATA III bus won't show any kind of speed improvements. The bus will adapt to whatever standard the drive is.
EDIT: I'm not quite sure I get the question, and I've read it like 3 times. -

I'm not sure how to be more clear, so I will ask it differently.
If I get two separate SSDs that are Sata II and setup an RAID array on a Sata III compatible motherboard, would them together on the same array still be limited by the Sata II speed, or would the Sata III bus be able to add the speeds of both as Sata II x 2 = Sata III bus speed?
Edit: While I was typing the guy above got it right, thanks -
You won't notice a difference between SATA/300 and SATA/600 for RAID0 drives that aren't even capped under SATA/300.

Depending on the specific implementation of the SATA III chipset, you may even find that it will be slower compared to running it on a SATA II chipset.

First thing I saw on that link:
Can a Sata II SSD array be faster than Sata II on a Sata III motherboard?
