Abstract: The present invention improves the performance of a storage device by utilizing the special features of different types of volumes. The control part of the storage device constructs a virtual volume in the memory. The virtual volume is constructed by a low-speed volume and a high-speed volume, and has the same size capacity as the low-speed volume. When the application program of the host requests the updating of data, the write data is respectively written into low-speed and high-speed volumes, and a life tag that indicates the storage period is set beforehand in the virtual volume. When the storage period has elapsed, the data is erased from the high-speed volume. The data in the low-speed volume is maintained “as is”. While the data is held in the high-speed volume, access from the host is processed utilizing the data in the high-speed volume.

Abstract: A storage device including a control part which performs control by extracting a life tag specifying a retention term during which the data is to be retained in the second volume having the quicker access time than the first volume, the control part managing the retention term of the corresponding data as specified by the life tag, and an elapsed term which has elapsed since the corresponding data was stored. A storage part manages update segment control information, and when the elapsed term of certain data exceeds the retention term of the certain data, the storage part nullifies the certain data in the second volume.
