Comments wanted on a Setup/Configuration

Hi all,

Was just after comments/suggestions for the following possible setup,

PII 450, 256Mb RAM with onboard Adaptec SCSI + Adaptec PCI SCSI + 4 x 4Gb
SCSI HDDs with FreeBSD

The current plan is to put 2 drives on each SCSI Adaptor, use 1 HDD for the
OS and Squid and use the other 3 with disk striping for the Cache.

Or

I put forward, use all 4 drives for the cache (with or without disk
striping) and grab a new IDE drive to run the OS and Squid on it.

Other questions are
- Is it worth using disk striping at all???
- Is it wise to put the OS and Squid on IDE, I mean is there still enough
activity going to be happening on the drive to warrant a small SCSI instead?

Thanks

Ray
