Abstract: A storage control apparatus is provided that includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit is configured to store management information indicating a formatting status of each of a plurality of partitions included in a storage area. The control unit is configured to perform a procedure including: upon receiving a write request to write first data to the storage area, determining whether a partition including a region to which the first data is to be written is formatted, based on the management information; and when the partition is unformatted, generating third data with a size that matches a size of the partition by combining the first data and predetermined second data, and writing the third data to the partition.
