摘要： Disclosed is a disk storage apparatus to control writing to a storage medium having a storage area to which a first address space is allocated and whose transfer rate spatially changes, including a command reception section and control section. The command reception section receives a write command from a host apparatus and containing an address of the first address space. The control section performs control to divide the storage area into zones, pre-define a second address space where blocks are successively allocated to the zones from a beginning address of the first address space, replace, for each of the write commands received by the command reception, an address of the first address space contained therein with an address of the second address space, select one of the zones as a write target zone by cyclical changing, and perform a writing process to the storage medium for each selected zone.

摘要： An information processing apparatus controls writing to a disk. A command reception section receives from a host apparatus a write command and a control command controlling a cache about the write command. A queue storage section stores a queue for the write command and the control command received by the command reception section. A control section determines which of a first write command for data of a file and a second write command for metadata corresponding to the file the write command stored in the queue is, groups, when the control command is received by the command reception section, at least one first write command and at least one second write command that have been received and stored in the queue, assigns an execution sequence numbers to the first write command and the second write command in the group such that data write of the first write command to the disk is executed in priority to the data write of the second write command, and controls execution of the first write command and the second write command according to the assigned execution sequence numbers.

摘要： A data-storage apparatus, a data-storage method and a recording/reproducing system are provided, which effectively use the time elapsing before data is transferred to be written in a recording medium, such as disc-seeking time and disc-rotation standby time, thereby to raise the speed of transferring data. A hybrid storage apparatus has two storage areas, i.e., a disc and a nonvolatile solid-state memory. The disc and the memory have a disc cache area, a system area, and a user area each. If data is transferred from the host apparatus, it is written into the cache area of the nonvolatile solid-state memory that can be accessed at high speed for the first super cluster. While the data being so written, the head is moved to a prescribed position. Any data coming after the head is moved to this position is written into the cache area.

摘要： A recording/reproducing apparatus is provided which can write continuously a file of large-capacity at high-speed. A record area of HDD is provided with a disk cache area for temporarily storing data to be written. The disk cache area is defined as a area that is not used by a host apparatus (3) in an LBA space, and the disk cache area is disposed in an area with a high transfer rate such as an outer circumferential area of a disk (10). A file transferred from the host apparatus (3) is written in the disk cache area, and the file is transferred from the disk cache area to a usual user area during an idle period to release the disk cache area and prepare for next transfer data write.
