ABSTRACT:
A storage device includes a storage medium, a nonvolatile memory, a head, a driving unit, and a processor. The driving unit drives the storage medium. The processor controls the storage device according to a process. The process includes receiving the data transmitted from the host, storing the data received into the nonvolatile memory, estimating a period of time from a time point of the reception of the data to a time point at which a usage rate of the nonvolatile memory becomes 100%, controlling the driving unit on the basis of comparison of the estimated period of time with a period of time before the storage medium is accessible, and writing the data stored in the nonvolatile memory to the storage medium by controlling the head in accordance with the control of the driving unit.
