Claim 6:
7. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing computer program instructions, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program instructions are configured to cause, together with the at least one processor, the electronic device to perform actions of managing a storage device, the actions including:
determining whether a data access component of the storage device will move by comparing a time interval threshold with a plurality of data access time intervals between a plurality of data accesses to the storage device within a predetermined length of time prior to a current time, wherein the determining is based on whether each of the plurality of data access time intervals is greater than the time interval threshold;
in response to determining that the data access component will move, determining a first storage unit in the storage device based on a storage location of previously accessed data in the storage device, the first storage unit corresponding to a first spatial location at which the data access component is currently located; and
sending a read request for data in a second storage unit in the storage device that is adjacent to the first storage unit to cause the data access component to move from the first spatial location to a second spatial location corresponding to the second storage unit.
