1. A method for execution by a computing device for transferring data in a storage network, the method comprises:
detecting a shutdown associated with a local flash memory of the storage network;
determining whether to transfer encoded data slices stored in the local flash memory, wherein a plurality of data segments are dispersed storage error encoded in accordance with distributed data storage parameters to produce pluralities of sets of encoded data slices, and wherein the pluralities of sets of encoded data slices include the encoded data slices;
when determining to transfer the encoded data slices:
determining a group of encoded data slices stored in the local flash memory to transfer;
determining at least one storage location for storage of the group of encoded data slices;
transferring the group of encoded data slices to the at least one storage location; and
outputting a transfer message indicating that the group of encoded data slices has been transferred.
