I confirm this, I used SeaweedFS to serve 1M users daily with 56 million images / ~100TB with 2 servers + HDD only, while Minio can't do this. Seaweedfs performance is much better than Minio's. The only problem is that SeaweedFS documentation is hard to understand.

SeaweedFS is also so optimized for small objects, it can't store larger objects (max 32GiB[1]).

Not a concern for many use-cases, just something to be aware of as it's not a universal solution.

Not correct. The files are chunked into smaller pieces and spread to all volume servers.

Well, then I suggest updating the incorrect readme. It's why I've ignored SeaweedFS.
