# 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.

Refer to the sizing guide with details on the default parity count chosen for different erasure stripe sizes [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/distributed/SIZING.md)

MinIO places new objects in server pools based on proportionate free space, per pool. Following pseudo code demonstrates this behavior.

```go
func getAvailablePoolIdx(ctx context.Context) int {
        serverPools := z.getServerPoolsAvailableSpace(ctx)
