Abstract
A method begins by a processing module receiving an encoded data slice for storage. The method continues with the processing module obtaining metadata associated with the encoded data slice and interpreting the metadata to determine whether the encoded data slice is to be stored in a first access speed memory or a second access speed memory, wherein the first access speed memory has a higher data access rate than the second access speed memory. The method continues with the processing module storing the encoded data slice in a memory device of the first access speed memory when the encoded data slice is to be stored in the first access speed memory and storing the encoded data slice in a memory device of the second access speed memory when the encoded data slice is to be stored in the second access speed memory.
