A storage device in which file data is divided into multiple blocks for storage on a recording medium. The storage device includes an additional data storing section for storing additional data to be recorded on the recording medium in association with the data to be written, a position determining section for determining recording positions on the recording medium where the blocks should be respectively written, based on the additional data, and a block writing section for writing the respective blocks on the recording positions on the recording medium determined by the recording position determining section. The additional data thus defines a gap length between blocks of recorded data. During a read operation, if the gap length does not comport with the additional data, then an error is assumed. |
