He is asking about the ' cache_mem ' parameter in
squid.conf, and according to your rule described he
must set this to a value of about 360MB because he is
going to use 2x18 GB drives which will be a huge value
for this parameter, Squid is in the habit of using two
or three times more than the cache_mem defined.

Your rule is Ok as far as adding physical RAM in
machine is concern but not in the case of cache_mem
parameter.
