Abstract:
Management information is provided to control a storage including storage-areas so that each storage-area includes a set of data-areas allocated from each storage-area and each set of data-areas has a data-area size that is a different integer multiple of an access unit of the storage. Logical address information stores information identifying a data-area into which target-data obtained by compressing data has been written, in association with a logical address of the data. Upon reception of the data and the logical address of the data, the apparatus identifies the management information corresponding to a data-area size greater than or equal to a size of the target-data, writes the target-data into an unused data-area of one of the sets of data-areas corresponding to the identified management information, and stores, in the logical address information, information identifying a physical address of the unused data-area in association with the logical address of the data.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein:\n the first set of data areas managed by the first management information store pieces of data that are not overlapped with each other; the first management information further includes, in association with each of the first set of data areas, a first reference count indicating a number of logical addresses referencing each of the first set of data areas; the second set of data areas managed by the second management information store pieces of data that are not overlapped with each other; the second management information further includes, in association with each of the second set of data areas, a second reference count indicating a number of logical addresses referencing each of the second set of data areas; and when the logical management information is identical to the target management information, and when a target reference count, which is one of the first and second reference counts indicating a number of logical addresses referencing a data area indicated by the ordinal number corresponding to the logical address of the write data in the logical address information, is one, the processor writes the target data into the target data area.
