Abstract
Methods and apparatus for selection of memory devices in a distributed storage network. In an example, a computing device receives a data object for storage and selects a set of storage nodes of a plurality of sets of storage nodes for storing the data object. Selection of the set of storage nodes includes determining storage attributes associated with each set of storage nodes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes. Selection of the set of storage nodes additionally includes determining a storage preference associated with the data object, and comparing the storage preference with the storage attributes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes to determine a best match. Following selection of a set of storage nodes, the computing device facilitates storage of the data object in the selected set of storage nodes.
