Not really. With replica 3 i can set the brick location on different servers so that i can loose multiple servers and not only multiple bricks What about EC? Are redundant data spread across multiple servers? If not, multiple replica would be placed on the same server. I can loose 2 bricks (2 disks) but what if I'll loose the whole server with both bricks on it? And when a server fails, multiple bricks are affected ......... replica 3 is like a raid10 with 3 disks in each mirror (3 failed bricks in the same replica set=data loss). EC is like raid6 (3 failed bricks in the whole cluster=data loss). The first is safer than the latter but has a huge waste of space.
