Sounds very high for a single drive. Usually the peak is seen somewhere
around 30-50 req/s depending on the speed of the drive.

Please note that there is a considerably higher stress on the drives when
the cache is full than when running with a mostly empty cache.

Yes.

Adding a new cache_dir does not affect the already cached files in other
cache_dir.
