Abstract

Techniques for storage management involve: in accordance with a determination that an input/output (I/O) request of a storage system is received, determining a target storage device to which the I/O request is directed. The techniques further involve: in accordance with a determination that the target storage device is a storage device of a first type, processing the I/O request by accessing a memory of the storage system. The techniques further involve: in accordance with a determination that the target storage device is a storage device of a second type different from the first type, processing the I/O request without accessing the memory, the storage device of the second type having an access speed higher than that of the storage device of the first type. Accordingly, such techniques can improve performance of a storage system.
