<p>The processing load when rewriting portions of compressed data is alleviated. A storage apparatus comprises a storage unit which stores data which is read/written by the host apparatus, a compression/expansion unit which compresses the data using a predetermined algorithm to generate compressed data, and expands the compressed data, and a control unit which controls writing of data to the storage unit, wherein the control unit manages, as compression block units, divided compressed data which is obtained by dividing compressed data compressed by the compression/expansion unit into predetermined units, and padding data.</p> |
