If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will have additional data
protection bits added automatically to provide the regular safety for these objects up to 50% of the number of drives.
This will allow normal write operations to take place on systems that exceed the write tolerance.

Regular Reads will block until data is available, but not wait for a full buffer. 
Writes will block until there is space available and writes bigger than the buffer will wait for reads to make space.

`TryRead` and `TryWrite` are still available for non-blocking reads and writes.

To signify the end of the stream, close the ring buffer from the writer side with `rb.CloseWriter()`

Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.
