A method of controlling an ODD archive system comprising three or more ODDs is provided comprising storing information on a parity drive in a memory, and setting a parity drive in which parity data is to be recorded based on the information when data recording is requested in a RAID 3 or 4 manner. The information on the parity drive may include a cumulative value of number of times by which each ODD has been set as the parity drive up to now. Or the information on the parity drive may be managed for each of one or more magazine having optical discs the number of which is equal to or less than the number of ODDs included in the archive system. |
