Localized dispersed storage memory system
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage device comprises:
- a first memory section that stores operational instructions that, when read by a computing device, causes the computing device to determine an error profile of a single hard drive, wherein the error profile includes at least one of detected storage errors and predicted storage errors;
a second memory section that stores operational instructions that, when read by the computing device, causes the computing device to;
determine error coding dispersal storage function parameters based on the error profile;
encode a data segment of the data in accordance with the error coding dispersal storage function parameters to produce a set of encoded data slices; and
a third memory section that stores operational instructions that, when read by the computing device, causes the computing device to;
define addressable storage sectors within the single hard drive based on the error coding dispersal storage function parameters and on the error profile to produce a set of addressable storage sectors; and
store encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices at addressable locations in corresponding addressable storage sectors of the set of addressable storage sectors.

Abstract
A method includes a processing module receiving data to store and determining error coding dispersal storage function parameters based on an error profile of one or more hard drives. The method continues with the processing module encoding at least a portion of the data in accordance with the error coding dispersal storage function parameters to produce a set of data slices. The method continues with the processing module defining addressable storage sectors within the one or more hard drives based on a number of data slices within the set of data slices to produce a set of addressable storage sectors. The method continues with the processing module storing data slices of the set of data slices in corresponding addressable storage sectors of the set of addressable storage sectors.
