- **Each object is written to a single EC set, and therefore is spread over no more than 16 drives.**
- **All the nodes running distributed MinIO setup are recommended to be homogeneous, i.e. same operating system, same number of drives and same network interconnects.**

- In this algorithm, we also make sure that we spread the drives out evenly. MinIO server expands ellipses passed as arguments. Here is a sample expansion to demonstrate the process.

```
minio server http://host{1...2}/export{1...8}
```

Expected expansion

```

So we have a dedicated thread for every socket that just reads frames and dispatches them.

The reader thread must never run application-layer code. Otherwise one slow stream can hold up the entire connection.
