Hierarchical storage management (HSM) for redundant array of independent disks (RAID) which comprise a plurality of drive trays of different types is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for hierarchically managing RAID which includes a plurality of drive trays of different types, includes writing data to a tray of a first type, periodically monitoring a use of the data, and moving the data to a tray of a second type if the use of the data yields less than a threshold value. Each one of the tray of the first type and the tray of the second type includes at least one hard drive, and a composite score of price, capacity, performance, and function of the tray of the first type which is higher than a corresponding composite score of the tray of the second type.
