The embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, etc. for a cache arrangement for improving RAID I/O operations. More specifically, a method begins by partitioning a data object into a plurality of data blocks and creating one or more parity data blocks from the data object. Next, the data blocks and the parity data blocks are stored within storage nodes. Following this, the method caches data blocks within a partitioned cache, wherein the partitioned cache includes a plurality of cache partitions. The cache partitions are located within the storage nodes, wherein each cache partition is smaller than the data object. Moreover, the caching within the partitioned cache only caches data blocks in parity storage nodes, wherein the parity storage nodes comprise a parity storage field. Thus, caching within the partitioned cache avoids caching data blocks within storage nodes lacking the parity storage field.
