In a recording device, a data memory including a DRAM having a write pointer for each of banks, and a queue control memory that stores an active flag is provided. When frame data is written into a write-target queue, a bank for which an active flag indicates an activated state is selected as a write-target bank among the banks to write the frame data, and if there is no bank for which an active flag indicates an activated state, a bank for which an active flag indicates a deactivated state is selected as a write-target bank, a row address of a write pointer of the bank is activated, and thereafter the frame data is written.
