Abstract
A storage apparatus is provided, including a first storage device; a second storage device having an access speed higher than an access speed of the first storage device; a monitor that monitors a write access load for the first storage device; a comparator that compares the write access load for the first storage device monitored by the monitor, with a load threshold; and a switch that causes write access target data to be written into the first and second storage devices, when it is determined by the comparator that the write access load for the first storage device does not exceed the load threshold, while causing the write access target data to be written into the first storage device, when it is determined by the comparator that the write access load for the first storage device exceeds the load threshold.
