Abstract
Methods and apparatus for selection of memory devices in a distributed storage network. In an embodiment, a computing device receives a data object for storage and forwards the data object to a buffer for temporary storage, the buffer comprised of a first memory devices of a first memory type. A system level storage efficiency is determined for the data object based, at least in part, on a data attribute associated with the data object. Second memory devices, of a second memory type, are selected based on the system level storage efficiency preference, and compatible dispersed storage error encoding parameters for the data object are determined. The data object is encoded using the encoding parameters to generate a plurality of encoded data slices, which are provided to the second plurality of memory devices for storage. Further, system addressing information is generated based on an identifier associated with the data object.
