Original Abstract Submitted
a storage device includes: a non-volatile memory; a parameter storage unit that stores a plurality of parameters for setting different operating conditions in the non-volatile memory; an access pattern analysis unit that analyzes an access pattern indicating a tendency to access the non-volatile memory by a command from a host device; a parameter selection unit that selects an optimal parameter from among the plurality of parameters based on the access pattern analyzed by the access pattern analysis unit; and an access control unit that accesses the non-volatile memory in a state where the optimal parameter is set in the non-volatile memory.
