FYI, squid recommends a 1:10 ratio of RAM:disk, and not more than 1/2
of the system RAM for RAM cache, so to actually make use of 1TB of
disk cache, you would need 20GB of system RAM by the project's
recommendation. I don't know how relevant those recommendations are in
this age, and I know it's not like you're going to kick yourself for
blowing a whole $100 on a 1TB drive if you don't end up using the whoe
thing, but just as a heads-up.
