Abstract
A method for execution by a computing device to adjust data storage efficiency of data in a storage network begins by obtaining a data segment for storage in memory of the storage network. The method continues by obtaining access level information regarding the data segment, where the access level information includes an estimated retrieval frequency level for the data segment. The method continues by determining a storage approach for the data segment based on the access level information and processing the data segment based on the storage approach to produce a processed data segment. The method continues by dispersed storage error encoding the processed data segment to produce a set of encoded data slices, where a decode threshold number of encoded data slices is needed to recover the processed data segment. The method continues by sending the set of encoded data slices to the memory for storage therein.
