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.

Minio uses the largest possible EC set size which divides into the number of drives given. For example, *18 drives* are configured as *2 sets of 9 drives*, and *24 drives* are configured as *2 sets of 12 drives*.  This is true for scenarios when running MinIO as a standalone erasure coded deployment. In [distributed setup however node (affinity)...

on 16 drive MinIO deployment. If you use eight data and eight parity drives, the file space usage will be approximately twice, i.e. 100 MiB
file will take 200 MiB space. But, if you use ten data and six parity drives, same 100 MiB file takes around 160 MiB. If you use 14 data and
two parity drives, 100 MiB file takes only approximately 114 MiB.

If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will have additional data
protection bits added automatically to provide the regular safety for these objects up to 50% of the number of drives.
This will allow normal write operations to take place on systems that exceed the write tolerance.
