A method begins with a processing module receiving data for storage. The method continues with the processing module determining storage metadata regarding storage requirements of the data. When the storage metadata includes a first type of storage mode, the method continues with the processing module determining a first error coding dispersal storage function; identifying first memory of DSN memory; encoding the data in accordance with the first error coding dispersal storage functions; and outputting the first encoded data slices to the first memory for storage therein. When the storage metadata includes a second type of storage mode, the method continues with the processing module determining a second error coding dispersal storage function; identifying second memory of a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory; encoding the data in accordance with the second error coding dispersal storage functions; and outputting the second encoded data slices to the second memory for storage therein.
