Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on deploying MinIO in High Availability (HA) mode. I need around 5 TB of storage for MinIO and am torn between deploying it on Kubernetes (since that's where all my workloads currently run) or on a standalone server. Ideally, I'd prefer the Kubernetes route for easier management, but I want to make sure there aren't any major downsides to this choice.
Also, I'm using Longhorn with a 4-node replication setup. If I go with 4 instances of MinIO in HA mode, will that actually take up 20 TB of storage in Longhorn? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the best setup for this situation!

If you've got a use case for S3, I’d actually recommend considering Rook over Longhorn. It might offer better integration and performance for Kubernetes.
Is Rook easy to set up like Longhorn? Are there any hardware requirements I need to consider?
