In an absorbing contest, both sides defended exceptionally well, but Melbourne dominated the attacking aspect of the match.
Chase Stanley led the way with two tries as the Storm ran away with victory after a slow start.
Stanley was well supported by Englishman Gareth Widdop who showed a promising kicking game at half-back.
For the Raiders, their forwards battled manfully, particularly props Brett White and Dave Shillington.
The teams were far from full strength with Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Bryan Norrie out for the Storm while the Raiders missed fullback Josh Dugan, Alan Tongue, Matt Orford and Tom Learoyd-Lahrs.

More than 6000 rugby league enthusiasts watched the game, which was played on a slippery surface after recent rainfall.
The conditions may have explained the number of handling errors from the players, with the Raiders guilty on numerous occasions.
After a scoreless opening 30 minutes, the Storm was sparked by Stanley's double before Daniel Vidot dived over in the corner for Canberra's first try.
With the game turning into an arm-wrestle, Melbourne were able to apply the decisive blow when prop Atelea Vea scored.
Replacement Tu'u Maori managed a late try to round out the 20-point victory.
