Security is improved when creating a remote copy pair while suppressing performance deterioration of the overall system.

Instead of using programmable block size aggregation, a lower multiple of page, and down to a page size aggregation is used. A bad block prediction unit in a controller is able to predict when a programmable block has a bad page. The bad block prediction unit can lower the aggregation size of a programmable block by monitoring the life cycle of the programmable block through bad block statistic collection. When the accumulation size passes a threshold, the bad block prediction unit lowers the aggregation size. The bad block prediction unit can also predict when to lower aggregation size based on the number of reconstructions. An aggregate size level is set at a page boundary, and once the number of reconstructions reaches that page boundary, the bad block prediction unit lowers the aggregation size to page aggregation. The bad block prediction unit is able to predict both life cycle threshold changes and reconstructions changes.
