An information recording apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive input of a command;
- a disk-shaped recording medium;
- a nonvolatile memory configured to serve as a cache memory for the disk-shaped recording medium;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire status information denoting a status of the nonvolatile memory;
- and
- a control unit configured to carry out writing of information into the nonvolatile memory on the basis of a write command input to the input unit, recording of information recorded in the nonvolatile memory on the disk-shaped recording medium at a predetermined timing, and judging of a status of the nonvolatile memory on the basis of the status information acquired by the acquisition unit.
