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 4):
The storage control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein it is evaluated that the access performance is not improved, if a write data amount to the storage medium when canceling or temporarily stopping the data rearrangement processing and executing the write request is not larger than an expected reduction amount of a data moving amount along with internal processing of the storage medium when standing by the write request and executing the data rearrangement processing.
