Abstract
A storage control device includes a processor configured to receive access information indicating a start position and an end position of an access area in a first volume. The processor is configured to determine, based on one or more pieces of the received access information, whether a number of blocks in a cache area is reduced as a whole by changing a position of data in the first volume. The blocks are used in response to an access to the access area and correspond to one or more unit areas in the first volume. The one or more unit areas include the access area. The processor is configured to change the position of the data in the first volume upon determining that the number of the blocks in the cache area is reduced as a whole by changing the position of the data in the first volume.
