Abstract
A storage system comprises nodes and drives, and includes at least one mounting area to install the drives. A node manages a parity group constituted of the plurality of drives; generates, in a case where a target drive that is installed in a first mounting area and that belongs to a first parity group is to be moved from the first mounting area to a second mounting area, difference information regarding a storage area where data was written into the target drive during a period in which the target drive is moved from the first mounting area to the second mounting area; and restore data written into the storage area by using data stored in other drives than the target drive that belongs to the first parity group based on the difference information, and write the data into the target drive that has been moved to the second mounting area.
