Abstract: A method for pre-fetching information units, the method may include: (I) Receiving, by a storage system, write requests for writing information units to the storage system. Each write request includes a first identifier and a second identifier. The first identifier identifies a logical address. A combination of the first and second identifiers identifies an accessing entity that initiated the write request. (II) Receiving a read request for reading at least one information unit from the storage system, the read request is initiated by a certain accessing entity. (III) Determining whether to perform a pre-fetch of at least one additional information unit in response to at least one write request that was initiated by the certain accessing entity. If is determined to perform the pre-fetch then fetching the at least one additional information unit.
