you can set the storage class of an object via request metadata field `x-amz-storage-class`. MinIO server then honors the storage class by
saving the object in specific number of data and parity drives.

## Storage usage

The selection of varying data and parity drives has a direct impact on the drive space usage. With storage class, you can optimize for high
redundancy or better drive space utilization.
