Claim Text:
1. A method for use in a dispersed storage network (DSN) that includes a plurality of user devices and a plurality of dispersed storage (DS) modules, the method comprises: storing, by non-local DSN memory, redundancy encoded data slices of a set of encoded data slices, wherein a data segment of a data object is dispersed storage error encoded into the set of encoded data slices, wherein a decode threshold number of encoded data slices is needed to recover the data segment, and wherein the redundancy encoded data slices corresponds to a total number of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices less the decode threshold number of encoded data slices; storing, by each DS processing module of a plurality of DS processing modules, a copy of the decode threshold number of encoded data slices in local memory associated with a respective DS processing module; receiving, by the plurality of DS processing modules, read requests for the set of encoded data slices from user devices of the plurality of user devices; and in response to one of the read requests:
