Abstract:
Proposed are a storage apparatus and a control method thereof capable of improving the response performance to a read access of various access patterns. When data to be read is not retained in a data buffer memory, upon staging the data to be read, a processor performs sequential learning of respectively observing an access pattern in units of blocks of a predetermined size and an access pattern in units of slots configured from a plurality of the blocks regarding an access pattern of the read access from the host apparatus, and expands a data range to be staged as needed based on a learning result of the sequential learning.

Claim (Index 11):
The control method of a storage apparatus according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein, in the second step, the processor expands the data range to be staged to all of the corresponding slots, or to a back-end block of the corresponding slot, based on a learning result of the sequential learning in units of the blocks and a learning result of the sequential learning in units of the slots.
