Physically impossible to run a PB-scale Minio cluster: it's limited to 16 hard drives. See my comment above.

Good to know. Looks like more of a PR initiative then. Some of my servers have more drives than that. :-)

Minio shards data across 16 drives. If you have more drives, you would run multiple instances for each set of 16 drives. I would generally recommend against denser storage servers. When it goes down, all the drives go offline with it.
