[squid-users] cache size and structure

I'm preparing new squid machine and I'm defining cache size.
Old squid had 2 entries into "cache_dir directive" :

cache_dir ufs /usr/local/cache/1 3500 128 256
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/cache/2 2500 128 256

My cache traffic volume (I/O) is about 2 Mbps a week with peaks of 3 Mbps.
This squid cache is the parent of 2 other squid machines and it gives
answers to about 1000 users.

1- I read you suggest 1 cache_dir to same partition, why I can't use 2
folder in tha same partition ?!
2- What do you think my caches size ? 3500 and 2550 ? and its directory
structure (128,256) ?!
