A plurality of storage devices, provided in a storage system, comprise not less than two member storage devices, which are storage devices provided as members of a RAID group, and a spare storage device, which is not a member of the RAID group. A controller, provided in the storage system, uses the spare storage device to carry out the changing of the RAID level of the RAID group from a first RAID level to a second RAID level.
