Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for managing a storage device and a storage device, the storage device including a chassis and a hard disk assembly. The method comprises: receiving a signal indicating a position of the hard disk assembly relative to the chassis, the hard disk assembly being slidably coupled to the chassis, and the signal being generated by an electromechanical element disposed on the hard disk assembly; and controlling a rotating speed of a fan based at least in part on the signal, the fan being disposed in the chassis and configured to blow wind to the hard disk assembly.
