Abstract
A host deviceincludes an NG tablefor storing addresses specifying areas of a bulk memoryinto which data cannot be written, a performance-guaranteed environment determination meansfor determining whether or not the current environment of the bulk memoryis outside a performance-guaranteed environment where the performance of the bulk memoryis guaranteed, and control means, andfor writing data in an area of the bulk memory which is specified by an address which is not stored in the NG tablewhen the performance-guaranteed environment determination meansdetermines that the current environment is outside the performance-guaranteed environment. Therefore, even if the current environment of the bulk memory is outside the performance-guaranteed environment, the host device can normally write data in the bulk memory, thereby improving the reliability of the system.
