Abstract
A storage device includes one or more FMPKs including a FM chip capable of storing data and a storage controller that controls storing of write data of a predetermined write request for the FMPK. The FMPK includes a compression/decompression circuit that compresses data according to a second compression algorithm different from a first compression algorithm. The storage controller compresses data using the first compression algorithm, and determines whether the write data will be compressed using the storage controller or the compression/decompression circuit based on a predetermined condition. The write data is compressed by the determined storage controller or compression/decompression circuit and is stored in the FMPK.
