A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) management method includes, when detecting that a component in a storage medium fails, recovering, based on a RAID policy, data stored in the failed component, saving the recovered data into a pre-defined redundant space of the RAID, and mapping an address of the failed component with the address of the redundant space, converting, according to the mapping, an address of to-be-accessed data comprised in an accessing request into an address within the redundant space, and accessing the to-be-accessed data from the redundant space according to the address within the redundant space.
