Proposed is a highly reliable storage apparatus with fast access speed and low power consumption, as well as a controller and control method for controlling such a storage apparatus. This storage apparatus is equipped with a flash memory that provides a storage extent for storing data, a disk-shaped memory device with more data write cycles than the flash memory, and a cache memory with faster access speed than the flash memory. Data provided from a host system is stored in the cache memory, this data is read from the cache memory at a prescribed timing, data read from the cache memory is stored in the disk-shaped memory device, and, when a prescribed condition is satisfied, this data is read from the disk-shaped memory device, and the data read from the disk-shaped memory device is stored in the flash memory.
