In a controller of a tape drive, when a command processor receives a command for moving to the end of data ("EOD") or the like, an operation signal output unit suspends the moving of a tape and a cartridge memory ("CM") input/output unit stores therein a state of the tape in which the moving has been omitted. Then, when the command processor receives a command for writing data in this state, the CM input/output unit writes the data to a cartridge memory. Subsequently, for example, when a head passes a proper position at which the data should be actually written to the tape, the CM input/output unit reads the data from the cartridge memory, and the channel input/output unit writes the data to the tape at the proper position. |
