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 14):
The storage control apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the degree of fragmentation in the series of data is calculated based on the size of the series of data and a size of data written in the storage medium by a write access operation different from the write access operation during a period from a start to an end of a write access operation.
