Abstract
Methods and apparatus for preference based selection of storage network memory for data storage. In an example, a computing device receives a data object for storage in memory of the storage network and determines a system level storage efficiency preference associated with the data object. The computing device selects a set of storage nodes of a plurality of sets of storage nodes for storage of the data object based, at least in part, on the system level storage efficiency preference. The computing device further determines dispersed storage error encoding parameters for the data object, encodes the data object in accordance with the dispersed storage error encoding parameters to produce encoded data slices, and generates system addressing information for the encoded data slices.
