Abstract

Embodiments of this disclosure provide for a storage device, a cache management method, and related apparatus. The storage device includes at least two levels of storages. The at least two levels of storages include a first-level storage and a second-level storage, and a speed of processing data by the first-level storage is higher than that of the second-level storage. The first-level storage includes at least a first storage area and a second storage area. Hotness values of data stored in the first storage area are within a first hotness value interval, hotness values of data stored in the second storage area are within a second hotness value interval, and the data in the first-level storage is swapped out at a granularity of one storage area based on the hotness values of the data.
