No. MinIO only includes the actual amount of data stored in the system as part of its capacity utilization calculation. This calculation excludes any redundant data such as the erasure-code parity data. For example, If the erasure parity is set to 4 in MinIO, then 200 TiB worth of objects will consume 268TiB of drive space including the parity data. However, we will only count 200 TiB of the data towards your used capacity. Please consult the erasure code calculator on the pricing page for more detail. This provides our customers with no disincentives with regard to higher parity choices.
