ABSTRACT:
To reduce power consumption, an MFP includes first to third HDDs of different storage capacities to store data, a writing portion to write received data to one of the first to third HDDs, a mode switching portion to change operating modes including the normal, stand-by, and sleep operating modes, each mode being driven by a different load, and a controller to control driving of the first to third HDDs. The controller includes a selecting portion to select one HDD from the first to third HDDs, which is predetermined in correspondence to the switched operating mode, and a drive controlling portion to drive the selected HDD, while suspending any HDD in operation other than the driven HDD.
