A caching storage method and system that includes one or more host devices, network devices, storage devices, and logical volume management functions. An input/output (I/O) request is received from the host device that includes a logical block address. The logical block address is translated into an original storage address for a storage device that includes an original storage ID, storage unit ID and block address. It is determined if a cache is defined for the storage device. The original storage address is translated into an address for a cache associated with the storage device if the cache is defined for the storage device. A read request or a write request is sent to the cache address based on the I/O request. Block data is received or transferred from/to the cache defined for the storage device identified by the original storage ID and storage unit ID.
