No - raid will make very little difference.
I court controvesy here but imho HDV is almost an uneditable foramt unless you have 8 cores - certainly for adventurous editing with tonnes of fx it is painfully slow.
Perssonally, if I had to edit HDV I would convert all my video to SD, edit that, then replace the sd media for hdv for the final render ONLY.
