    摘要: An information recording device including a controller records information in a write-once optical disk group including one or a plurality of write-once optical disks. When recording new data, the controller calculates a residual quantity of an alternate area. The calculation of the residual quantity of the alternate area corresponds to a subtraction of a first consumption size and a second consumption size from a size of the alternate area of the write-once optical disk group. The first consumption size is a size of the alternate area already consumed when the data recorded in the write-once optical disk group was erased. The second consumption size is an estimated size of the alternate area to be consumed when the data recorded in the write-once optical disk group is erased. The controller records the new data when the residual quantity is greater than or equal to a third consumption size.

    摘要: A data erasing method of the present disclosure is a data erasing method for erasing data stripe-recorded in a plurality of write-once optical discs constituting a redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) system and each including a plurality of data recording blocks and a redundant data block. In the data erasing method, alternate recording of at least one target block and the redundant data block is performed in a predetermined alternate area. The target block is one of the data recording blocks in which target data as erase target data is recorded. The target block is overwritten such that the target data is not correctly read.

    摘要: An information recording apparatus includes: a first memory which stores synchronization data for updating data on a recordable optical disc and/or adding data to the recordable optical disc; a second memory which stores erasure information indicating data to be erased; and a controller which controls addition, update, and erasure of data on the optical disc. The controller records the synchronization data onto the optical disc. After recording the synchronization data, the controller records, onto the optical disc, management information indicating the state of the optical disc on which the synchronization data has been recorded and the state of the optical disc resulting from erasure according to the erasure information. Subsequently, the controller closes the session. After closing the session, the controller physically erases the data to be erased which has been recorded on the optical disc.
