A RAID system access a physical disk and perform Rebuild/Copy back processing according to a host I/O request, so as to implement high-speed Rebuild/Copy back processing without interfering with the processing of a normal I/O. When one disk device fails, out of a plurality of disk devices constituting a RAID configuration, the controller performs Rebuild/Copy back processing to reconstruct the RAID. In Rebuild/Copy back, the controller reads the data from one disk and writes the data to another disk, so the presence of a normal I/O is judged, and when a normal I/O is absent, read and write of these different disk drives are executed simultaneously. By this, the Rebuild/Copy back time can be decreased.
