Abstract
A receiver unit receives data write commands for a memory device. A control unit determines a use situation of an RMW cache used in a read-modify-write process by the memory device, on the basis of write sizes, a reception frequency, and the number of received commands. A control unit decides whether or not to execute a read-modify-write process by a storage control apparatus on the basis of the determination result.
