# 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.

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

Traditional retrieval of objects is always as whole entities, i.e GetObject for a 5 GiB object, will always return 5 GiB of data.

By using Select API to retrieve only the data needed by the application, drastic performance improvements can be achieved.

- All sites must be using the **same** external IDP(s) if any.
- For [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption via KMS](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/server-side-encryption.html "MinIO KMS Guide"), all sites **must**  have access to a central KMS deployment. This can be achieved via a central KES server or multiple KES servers (say one per site) connected via a central KMS (Vault) server.
