Abstract
Techniques for managing storage devices involve: combining storage devices in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) into a group of devices in an order of physical storage capacities; determining a first number of device sets based on a number of devices in the group and a threshold number of devices to be divided into each set, the number of the devices being greater than the threshold number; selecting at least one capacity promotion set from the group, each capacity promotion set including a second number of devices having a same physical capacity, the second number being equal to a sum of a width of the RAID and a number of devices in each set that is reserved; and forming the first number of sets by combining each of capacity promotion set and devices in the group other than each capacity promotion set.
