Below is a list of data/parity drives and corresponding _approximate_ storage space usage on a 16 drive MinIO deployment. The field _storage
usage ratio_ is simply the drive space used by the file after erasure-encoding, divided by actual file size.

| Total Drives (N) | Data Drives (D) | Parity Drives (P) | Storage Usage Ratio |

### 3. Compression + Encryption

Combining encryption and compression is not safe in all setups.
This is particularly so if the compression ratio of your content reveals information about it.
See [CRIME TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME) as an example of this.

Therefore, compression is disabled when encrypting by default, and must be enabled separately.
