The only caution about RAID I have seen is that RAID-5 will kill disk
performance with Squid (due to its usage profile). I don't know if RAID-1
and RAID-10 are similarly affected.

For best disk performance you should use several smaller disks and have
Squid setup a cache dir on each one (no RAID).
