How? Why? Please explain. Just because the FAQ says so doesn't make it true, or explain why.

The only caution about RAID I have seen is that RAID-5 will kill disk performance with Squid (due to its usage profile). I don't know if RAID-1 and RAID-10 are similarly affected. For best disk performance you should use several smaller disks and have Squid setup a cache dir on each one (no RAID). Adam
