Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for prefetching data tracks and parity data to use for destaging updated tracks. A write request is received including at least one updated track to the group of tracks. The at least one updated track is stored in a first cache device. A prefetch request is sent to the at least one sequential access storage device to prefetch tracks in the group of tracks to a second cache device. A read request is generated to read the prefetch tracks following the sending of the prefetch request. The read prefetch tracks returned to the read request from the second cache device are stored in the first cache device. New parity data is calculated from the at least one updated track and the read prefetch tracks.

Provided are a computer program product, sequential access storage device, and method for managing data in a sequential access storage device receiving read requests and write requests from a system with respect to tracks stored in a sequential access storage medium. A prefetch request indicates prefetch tracks in the sequential access storage medium to read from the sequential access storage medium. The accessed prefetch tracks are cached in a non-volatile storage device integrated with the sequential access storage device, wherein the non-volatile storage device is a faster access device than the sequential access storage medium. A read request is received for the prefetch tracks following the caching of the prefetch tracks, wherein the prefetch request is designated to be processed at a lower priority than the read request with respect to the sequential access storage medium. The prefetch tracks are returned from the non-volatile storage device to the read request.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an attribute of a write request to determine where to cache data in a storage system having multiple caches including non-volatile storage cache in a sequential access storage device. Received modified tracks are cached in the non-volatile storage device integrated with the sequential access storage device in response to determining to cache the modified tracks. A write request having modified tracks is received. A determination is made as to whether an attribute of the received write request satisfies a condition. The received modified tracks for the write request are cached in the non-volatile storage device in response to determining that the determined attribute does not satisfy the condition. A destage request is added to a request queue for the received write request having the determined attribute not satisfying the condition.

For facilitating data compression, a set of logical extents, each having compressed logical tracks of data, is mapped to a head physical extent and, if the head physical extent is determined to have been filled, to at least one overflow extent having spatial proximity to the head physical extent. Pursuant to at least one subsequent write operation and destage operation, the at least one subsequent write operation and destage operation determined to be associated with the head physical extent, the write operation is mapped to one of the head physical extent, the at least one overflow extent, and an additional extent having spatial proximity to the at least one overflow extent.
