I am using Squid 1.0.11 NOVM on a site running FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE
with 128Mb, a Gigabyte motherboard and a P200 CPU.
There are 2 * 4 GB SEAGATE ST34371W Model disks on a
Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter.
We use ccd to stripe the 4GB disks with a 4k
interleave.

The thing flies. But make sure you get fans for the disk
because they get hot.
