ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a storage device which receives input of data of arbitrary data length, stores the data, and outputs the stored data in order of input. It provides a storage device capable of unloading data of arbitrary data length from data areas quickly. The storage device is equipped with a start position pointer which additionally stores the write position before the change each time a write position memorized by a write pointer is changed due to data input. When areas are freed, new read positions are determined based on saved write positions and the number of data items to be unloaded.
