Swappable HDs

Is it OK to edit video on swappable drives?
OR,---as it has been suggested to me,---should swappable drives only be used to archive projects?
Have just done a re-install of my system,---and added 2X250 RAIDED drives.
Technician who did the work says the RAIDED drives are (is?) the only place I should edit.
I have edited some projects on swappable HDs, but I have also encountered problems,----come to think of it,----namely freezing (which I think is the same as a crash right?)
Maybe that has been my problem.
Any thoughts?
I am an absolute technical moron,---and readily admit it.
But I am open to learning.

This be my system,---

I edit on swappable SATA and Firewire drives every day. No problems at all. I'd be looking at hardware conflicts in your IRQ settings if you're experiencing failures
