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

MinIO server allows streaming compression to ensure efficient disk space usage.
Compression happens inflight, i.e objects are compressed before being written to disk(s).
MinIO uses [`klauspost/compress/s2`](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/s2)
streaming compression due to its stability and performance.

### 1.2 Host Multiple Tenants on Multiple Drives (Erasure Code)

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on multiple drives:

```sh
minio server --address :9001 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant3
```
