    摘要: Efficient leveling among a plurality of FMPKs 130 including a newly added or replaced FMPK 130. When a storage controller 110 lacks free blocks in real FMPKs 130 and any FMPK 130 of the real FMPKs 130 and an added substitute FMPK 130 are selected as leveling object devices, if the attribute of a block in the real FMPK 130 belonging to the leveling object devices is “Hot,” data larger than a threshold value from among data belonging to that block is migrated to a block in the substitute FMPK 130; or if the attribute of a block in the real FMPK 130 belonging to the leveling object devices is “Cold,” data smaller than the threshold value from among data belonging to that block is migrated to a block in the substitute FMPK 130.

    摘要: The present invention efficiently uses the storage capacity in a storage system that has flash memory as a storage medium.A storage system has a storage controller and a flash memory module that is connected to the storage controller. The storage controller manages the status of a storage area in a flash memory chip of the flash memory module. When a portion of the storage area in the flash memory chip becomes unwritable, the storage controller carries out control so as to use a free storage area as an alternate area for the unwritable storage area, and to store data that has been stored in the unwritable storage area, in the alternate area.
