The drives should all be of approximately the same size.

## Get Started with MinIO in Erasure Code

### 1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux)

 log.Fatalln(err)
}

n, err := s3Client.PutObject("my-bucketname", "my-objectname", object, objectStat.Size(), minio.PutObjectOptions{ContentType: "application/octet-stream", StorageClass: "REDUCED_REDUNDANCY"})
if err != nil {
 log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("Uploaded", "my-objectname", " of size: ", n, "Successfully.")

## Toy Setups

Capacity constrained environments, MinIO will work but not recommended for production.

- Choice of erasure set size is automatic based on the number of drives available, let's say for example if there are 32 servers and 32 drives which is a total of 1024 drives. In this scenario 16 becomes the erasure set size. This is decided based on the greatest common divisor (GCD) of acceptable erasure set sizes ranging from *4 to 16*.
