Claim One:
1. A method implemented by processor-based logic of a storage system storing source data as a plurality of erasure coded fragments on storage nodes of the storage system for providing coded fragments to a decoder for decoding, the method comprising: obtaining a first storage node read unit size value for a storage node configuration of a plurality of storage nodes of the storage nodes of the storage system, wherein the first storage node read unit size is a size of a node block which is an efficient read unit of data for a corresponding type of storage node; and utilizing, by the logic of the storage system, data coding parameter values to provide storage of a source object using an efficient access block size of a plurality of efficient access block sizes, wherein each efficient access block size of the plurality of efficient access block sizes is an access block size in which erasure coded fragments of a corresponding source object are provided in for storage by the storage system that is determined as a function of a size of a minimal number of the fragments to reconstruct a portion of source data of the corresponding source object and the first storage node read unit size value.
