Abstract

In a method for storing index metadata associated with stored data, a storage device provides a first metadata storage unit and a second metadata storage unit, wherein a size of the first metadata storage unit is greater than a size of the second metadata storage unit. When a size of target data reaches a specified threshold, the storage device stores index metadata of the target data based on the first metadata storage unit. When the size of the target data is less than the specified threshold, the storage device stores the index metadata of the target data based on the second metadata storage unit.
