Abstract
A method for managing read requests, the method may include receiving from a requesting entity a read request for reading an information unit stored in a storage system; determining by a control entity of the storage system whether the information unit is cached in a cache memory of the storage system and whether at least a predetermined number of disk drives of the storage system are currently overloaded; introducing a delay to a response to the read request thereby increasing a time difference between a time of the receiving of the read request and a time of a provision of the information unit to the requesting entity, if it is determined that the information unit is not cached in the cache memory and that the at least predetermined number of disk drives of the storage system are currently overloaded; and providing the information unit to the requesting entity.
