- **MinIO creates erasure-coding sets of _2_ to _16_ drives per set.  The number of drives you provide in total must be a multiple of one of those numbers.**
- **MinIO chooses the largest EC set size which divides into the total number of drives or total number of nodes given - making sure to keep the uniform distribution i.e each node participates equal number of drives per set**.

## How are drives used for Erasure Code?

MinIO divides the drives you provide into erasure-coding sets of *2 to 16* drives.  Therefore, the number of drives you present must be a multiple of one of these numbers.  Each object is written to a single erasure-coding set.

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 |
