### Erasure Coding (EC)
### Erasure Coding (EC)
Erasure coding (EC) is a data protection method. It is similar to the dynamic RAID known from disk arrays. Erasure coding (EC) is a method where data is divided into individual fragments, which are then stored with some redundancy across the data storage. Therefore, if some disks (or the entire storage server) fail, the data is still accessible and will be restored in the background. So it is not possible for your data to be on one disk that gets damaged and you lose your data.
