Abstract
Apparatus for tiered storage of data in a storage network. In an example of operation, a computing device receives a data object for storage and forwards the data object for storage in a first plurality of memory devices of a first memory type. The computing device determines a system level storage efficiency for the data object based, at least in part, on a data attribute associated with the data object. The computing device further selects, based at least in part on the system level storage efficiency preference, a second plurality of memory devices comprised of a second memory type. The computing device determines error encoding parameters based on the second plurality of memory devices, retrieves the data object from the first plurality of memory devices, and encodes the data object with the error encoding parameters to generate a plurality of encoded data slices for storage in the second plurality of memory devices.
