you can use them as Software-RAID.
If you want to use the whole space, then choose RAID-0 = striping.
Disadvantage: If one harddisk is damaged, your whole data is lost.
If you want failsafe, choose RAID-1 = mirroring.
Disadvantage: As your data is mirrored, you can only use the space of 1 of your 2 HDDs.
Here you find an installation-guide:

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here.
You want to store files from your application in that drive? If so, mount it like in that tutorial suggested, and use it from where you mounted it (e.g. /home/user/disk in that tutorial.).
Or do you want to use it as a back up or something? Totally depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

They probably mean they are in a RAID1 setup, which is quite logical (made for redundancy, in case 1 disk fails you have an exact copy of your files on the other).
Then yes, only 1TB is usable
