[squid-users] Squid with more storage!

Hello again,

I just want to know what would happen to Squid if we added more
storage like 6 X SCSI 15k HDD ? . Would that affect the performance of
the system of affect Squid to behave slower ?

Thank you

Hello,

Does Squid 2.7 STABLE9 work well if we moved to another Server that
has XEON Core-6 processor with 6 x 15k SCSI Hard Drives and each HDD
could carry 100 GB of Squid cache Objects?

I am willing to add more SCSI HDDs like 12 or more just to get more
cache data as for now we the current installation Squid 2.7 STABLE9 on
Core 2 Duo with 3 x SATA HDD and we are almost filling all folders and
HDDs storage .

My main idea is to add more fast Hard drivers allowing me to add more
folders splitted on all 6 hard drives so what do you think and what is
your recommendation on such setup .

BTW , we are caching CDN Contents and each month we try to update our
script so we can match the most contents to get a high ratio cache .
