Generally yes. Two drives can sustain a significantly higher request rate than a single drive. > Is this done with squid.conf and then with squid -Z? yes. > I'm getting ready to order ram -I'm at 256MB- and I can > go to either 1 gig or 2 gigs.

You should size the amount of drives in relation to the request rate you need to sustain, and the total size of your cache to around 7 days or as much as you can afford to spend on memory.. Note: there is a bunch of other issues when you start going above ca 1.5GB of memory if you are using a 32bit CPU. > Finally, my hit rate is about 35%. Is that about normal? Byte or document hit rate? Regards Henrik
