Abstract:
This invention improves the access performance of a storage medium and prolongs the life of the storage medium while preventing a situation in which a response to a write request is delayed to cause a write error. A storage control apparatus includes a rearrangement starter that starts data rearrangement processing in which fragmented data, which has been determined that data corresponding to a logical address area in a logical address space used by a host computer to access a storage medium are fragmented and stored in a plurality of physical address areas in a physical address space of the storage medium, is written in a continuous physical address area in the storage medium; and a rearrangement controller that evaluates, when receiving a write request from the host computer during the data rearrangement processing, whether the data rearrangement processing improves access performance to the storage medium, and instructs to continue the data rearrangement processing if the access performance is improved, but cancel or interrupt the data rearrangement processing if the access performance is not improved.

Claim (Index 3):
The storage control apparatus according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein it is evaluated that the access performance is improved, if a delay time from restarting the standby write request after completion of the data rearrangement processing to executing a last queued write request is shorter than a first threshold.
