Deploy MinIO: Single-Node Multi-Drive
=====================================

   :depth: 2

The procedures on this page cover deploying MinIO in a Single-Node Multi-Drive (SNMD) configuration.
|SNMD| deployments provide drive-level reliability and failover/recovery with performance and scaling limitations imposed by the single node.

.. cond:: linux or macos or windows

   For production environments, MinIO strongly recommends deploying with the :ref:`Multi-Node Multi-Drive (Distributed) <minio-mnmd>` topology for enterprise-grade performance, availability, and scalability.

.. cond:: container

   For production environments, MinIO strongly recommends using the MinIO Kubernetes Operator to deploy Multi-Node Multi-Drive (MNMD) or "Distributed" Tenants.

.. admonition:: Network File System Volumes Break Consistency Guarantees
   :class: note

   MinIO's strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency
   model requires local drive filesystems.

   MinIO cannot provide consistency guarantees if the underlying storage
   volumes are NFS or a similar network-attached storage volume. 

   For deployments that *require* using network-attached storage, use
   NFSv4 for best results.

Deploy Single-Node Multi-Drive MinIO
------------------------------------

The following procedure deploys MinIO consisting of a single MinIO server and a multiple drives or storage volumes.
