As Chai Wei said, RAID on the OS partition for system protection. But
For the Squid cache_dir individual disks.
On a high performance install such as the one you are aiming for Squid
will push the disks to their hardware I/O limits, RAID just gets in the
way. If you have to use RAID at all (SAN situations) make sure it has a
high performance hardware controller and is set to the RAID type with
lowest possible overheads.
