Data lengths read from a recorder/reproducer in accordance with read requests received from a host computer are stored in a RAM. The number of the read requests is counted, and the number of times each data is acquired is counted according to the acquired data lengths. When a predetermined number of read requests has been counted, a pre-read quantity is determined, according to the result of acquisition number of times and the pre-read quantity is stored in a cache memory. Control is carried out so that data is read in a length obtained by adding the pre-read quantity to the data length read according to a read request received after the predetermined number of times.
