Abstract
A storage system includes non-volatile storage devices and a control device. Each of the storage devices is divided into blocks, and data is erased in units of the blocks. The control device includes a setting unit and a writing/reading unit. The setting unit sets first storage regions obtained by dividing a storage region for each of the storage devices and sets second storage regions obtained by dividing storage regions of all of the storage devices for all of the storage devices. The writing/reading unit manages data stored in the storage devices in units of the second storage regions. The setting unit sets each of the first storage regions so that the first storage region for at least one of the plurality of storage devices includes the entirety of one or more blocks and sets each of the second storage regions to include two or more of the first storage regions.
