# MinIO Erasure Code Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. With the highest level of redundancy, you may lose up to half (N/2) of the total drives and still be able to recover the data.

## What is Erasure Code?

	if unMarshalXLMeta.Erasure.ParityBlocks != jsoniterXLMeta.Erasure.ParityBlocks {
		t.Errorf("Expected the erasure parity blocks to be %v, but got %v.", unMarshalXLMeta.Erasure.ParityBlocks, jsoniterXLMeta.Erasure.ParityBlocks)
	}
	if unMarshalXLMeta.Erasure.BlockSize != jsoniterXLMeta.Erasure.BlockSize {
		t.Errorf("Expected the erasure block size to be %v, but got %v.", unMarshalXLMeta.Erasure.BlockSize, jsoniterXLMeta.Erasure.BlockSize)
	}

- Erasure coding used by MinIO is [Reed-Solomon](https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon) erasure coding scheme, which has a total shard maximum of 256 i.e 128 data and 128 parity. MinIO design goes beyond this limitation by doing some practical architecture choices.
