According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive selects in command evaluation in reordering processing, a command accessible in a shortest time. The device determines whether media bumps which influence a dynamic flying height (DFH) control exist in a seek section between completion of a previous command and start of a selected command or not, calculates a latency necessary for avoidance of the media bumps if it is determined by the determination that the media bumps which influence the DFH control exist, and selects the command accessible in the shortest time including the time obtained by summing the latency calculated by the calculation as the command to be next processed.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a magnetic disk device including a magnetic disk, a storage unit, and a control unit. The magnetic disk includes a recording region. The storage unit is configured to store a value according to number of accesses to each of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing of the recording region of the magnetic disk in association with each of the plurality of regions. The control unit is configured to count a value according to the number of accesses to each of a plurality of regions in a count step unit that is a value determined according to an elapsed time from occurrence of a specific situation and is a value counted per unit access, and to update the value stored in the storage unit.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a cache control method of a storage device is provided, the storage device including: a storage unit that stores data, and a buffer memory having a first cache area and a second cache area serving as a cache of the storage unit. The cache control method according to the embodiment includes: storing data read from the storage unit in the first cache area in response to a read command from a host; moving retried data, on which a read retry has occurred upon the readout from the storage unit, to the second cache area from the first cache area in order that the retried data amount in the second cache area is not more than a predetermined data amount; and transferring data in the first cache area or the second cache area to the host.

According to one embodiment, a drive array apparatus includes a plurality of data storage drives constituting a drive array and a controller. The controller divides all data storage areas of each of the data storage drives into a plurality of logical unit areas and associates and manages each of the logical unit areas and each of the data storage drives. The controller identifies a logical unit area of an error occurrence object based on a notification from a data storage drive where an error occurred, restores data of the identified logical unit area, and performs reconfiguration processing of the drive array.

According to one embodiment, a read/write apparatus includes a receiver and a refresh module. The receiver receives a write command requesting a write to a magnetic disk. The refresh module refreshes, when a first area of the magnetic disk includes a second area corresponding to the write command, data written in a third area, the third area being an area obtained by excluding the second area from the first area.
