RAID isn't just for precious data - it's to keep a disk failure from taking down your system. Without RAID, if your cache disk crashed, so would Squid. Also, may systems come with all the disks setup in a RAID array. That said, Squid causes major performance problems on RAID5, which the most common form of RAID. I'm not sure about RAID1 - I think there was a discussion about using 2 mirrored RAID1 sets instead of RAID5, but I'm not sure. Adam
