Ghassan, I'm not sure adding additional hard drives will improve the performance of Squid a great deal, if you're caching a lot of large objects over a long period of time then it may prove beneficial. But if you're looking for performance you would be better investing in more memory, if you can serve the majority of 'hot objects' (frequently accessed pages / content) from memory your response times will improve greatly. The response time for retrieving an object from disk will be much greater due to the overhead in disk / controller I/O. Hope that helps Gareth ----- Follow me on...
