A method includes receiving data objects at substantially the same time for storage. The method further includes determining priority levels for the data objects. The method further includes establishing write thresholds for encoding the data objects based on the priority levels. The method further includes dispersed storage error encoding the data objects to produce pluralities of sets of encoded data slices. The method further includes executing write operations to store the pluralities of sets of encoded data slices in storage units in accordance with the write thresholds. During execution of the write operations, the method further includes identifying encoded data slices that were not properly stored and determining rebuild priorities for them. The method further includes rebuilding at least some of the encoded data slices based on the rebuild priorities.
