Depending on the memory in your servers, either: Raid 1 for 2 disks giving you 18Gb for system + swap logs no raid for 4 disks, giving you a little less than 72 gb for cache_dirs in 4 (say) 16Gb cache_dirs, 1 per disk. or Raid 1 for 2 disks giving you 18Gb for system + swap logs raid 1 for 2 pairs of 18Gb disks giving you 36Gb for cache_dirs, in 2 (say) 16Gb cache_dirs, 1 per raid 1 set.
