Abstract
A microprocessorin a control deviceof a data storage device determines that the read request has a sequential access property, when a transfer size of data specified by a read request from a host computeris the same as a preset pre-fetch determination size and sends the data for the read request to the host computer. The microprocessoralso reads data in succeeding areas continuous to the data designated by the read request from a storage deviceinto a cache memory. The data storage device enables to reduce a number of access from the control deviceto the storage device, improving a response time as well as throughput of the data storage device.
