OVERDRIVE MODE FOR DISTRIBUTED STORAGE NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- receiving, by the one or more processing modules, an access request for a set of encoded data slices (EDSs), wherein a data segment is encoded using an error coding dispersal storage function to produce the set of EDSs,determining, by the one or more processing modules, whether a level of access requests for the DSN meets a predetermined threshold;
in response to determining that the level of access requests for the DSN meets the predetermined threshold, transitioning, by the one or more processing modules, from a first operational mode to a second operational mode;
determining, by the one or more processing modules, whether the level of access requests for the DSN is below the predetermined threshold; and
in response to determining that the level of access requests for the DSN is below the predetermined threshold, transitioning, by the one or more processing modules, from the second operational mode to the first operational mode.

Abstract
A method for implementing an overdrive in a dispersed storage network begins by a processing module receiving an access request for a set of encoded data slices and continues with the processing module determining whether a level of access requests for the DSN meets a predetermined threshold. When the level of access requests for the DSN meets the predetermined threshold, the method continues with the processing module transitioning from a first operational mode to a second operational mode. The method continues with the processing module determining whether the level of access requests for the DSN is below the predetermined threshold, and when it is, transitioning back to the first operational mode.
