A data storage device includes a recording medium including a data region for recording data and a nonvolatile recording unit distinct from the data region. In response to a request for executing erase processing with respect to the recording medium, first time information corresponding to initiation of the erase processing in the nonvolatile recording unit is stored, the erase processing after storing the first time information is executed, and second time information corresponding to completion of the erase processing is stored in the nonvolatile recording unit. |
