Hi there.
I'm planning to build a new dedicated Squid-box, with amd64 and 4 gigs
of RAM, with two cache_dir's on two separate harddisks and Squid-3 doing
application level striping, all servicing around 6k users. Will two
recent IDE disks of 7200 rpm suffice, or I'm better off getting two
15000 rpm SCSI disks on a dedicated controller board? Just not sure if
performance gains would be noticeable by an average user, given enough
ram. I read this too: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/BestOsForSquid
Just double checking.
Thanks for any tips.
