A hybrid storage apparatus includes a plurality of storage apparatuses having different writing methods, and a controller to combine the storage apparatuses as a single storage apparatus, to assign one or more logic block addresses to the single storage apparatus, and to access the storage apparatuses using the logic block addresses. The address assigning method of a hybrid storage apparatus includes searching and detecting one or more storage apparatuses included in a hybrid storage apparatus when an initially set condition is generated, combining the storage apparatuses as a single storage apparatus, assigning one or more logic block addresses to the single storage apparatus, and accessing the storage apparatuses using the logic block addresses.
