It's a bit confusing, but minio is not a resilient storage. It's just a server, kind of like webdav, but with s3 api and a capability to use multiple filesystem folders with erasure coding.

As for distributed object storages, I would expect them to work great for video editing, since they can saturate any link given enough servers. But not out of the box, you would need a client designed for it, splitting files into chunks in parallel, etc.

We are working on distributed minio (resilient to server failures) on the "distributed" branch here https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/distributed

Currently available minio is resilient to disk failures using erasure coding (similar to RAID)
