Abstract

When a data utilization ratio R which is a utilization ratio of sectors in one page is not lower than a threshold value Rthand when write data is not frequently-rewritten data, a flash memory is controlled such that the write data is stored into the flash memory. When the data utilization ratio R which is the utilization ratio of sectors in one page is lower than the threshold value Rthor when the write data is frequently-rewritten data although the data utilization ratio R is not lower than the threshold value Rth, a ReRAM is controlled such that the write data is stored into the ReRAM. This suppresses deterioration of the flash memory.
