A storage device for recording and retrieving information blocks on a removable record carrier is described. Via an interface ( 44 ) the device receives commands, user data blocks and meta data blocks comprising file management information. The device has a non-volatile memory ( 31 ), a meta data block detection unit ( 47 ), and a control unit ( 20 ). The device temporarily stores the meta data blocks in the non-volatile memory until detecting an update condition, e.g. an eject command. The update condition indicates that the removable record carrier is to be updated to a state in which the record carrier is usable in a different storage device. In the event that the update condition has been detected the meta data blocks are transferred from the non-volatile memory to the record carrier ( 49 ).
