It fills both, but if one if very much larget than the other then usage
will be biased towards the larger one unless the
store_dir_select_algorithm is changed to round-robin.

Depends on what speeds you require.

Squids use of the cache drives requires a lot of seeks. Two drives can 
seek twice as much as a single drive.

Note: to make use of the seek times of more than one drive you need to use
one of the async cache_dir types (aufs or diskd).
