A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a dispersed storage network (DSN), a memory that stores operational instructions, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the interface and to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various operations and functions. The computing device detects memory error(s) associated with memory device(s) of set(s) of storage units (SUs). The computing device processes the memory error(s) to generate a rebuilding priority level for at least some EDS(s) and establishes an EDS scanning rate. The computing device scans the EDS(s) based on the EDS scanning rate. When an EDS error is detected, the computing device updates the rebuilding priority level to generate an updated rebuilding priority level for the at least some of the set of EDSs and facilitates generation at least one rebuilt EDS for the EDS error based on the updated rebuilding priority level.
