In my experience, modern hard drives are plenty quick for all forms of HD editing outside of uncompressed.
The new Seagates get 118 MBps, that is plenty of bandwidth.
I have an Intel Quad 9450 using Edius and I can edit everything including the 100Mbps Flash XDR files from a single drive.
Now this is taking into account one drive per camera.
If I start stacking clips from the same camera (drive) in multicam the system gets bogged down.
This is where a RAID might help, or it might not...
