Abstract
A storing device can reduce the frequency of the saving operation at a step of rewriting data on the storing mediums. Where q is a size of all the data to write in storing mediums, m is the number of the storing mediums, and p is each block size, a quotient expressed by zm+w+y(z: 0≦z (integer); w: 0≦w<m (integer); y: 0≦y<1) is calculated by dividing q by p. It is configured so that the data for zm blocks is written in parallel on m storing mediums, and then the data for q/p−zm blocks is written on w+1 storing mediums (win the case of y=0).
