The present invention provides a criterion for determining whether or not to apply de-duplication processing. That is, by setting a reduction effect threshold to control switching the de-duplication between ON and OFF, the present invention allows operation such that the de-duplication is applied for a volume for which a high capacity-reduction effect is provided by the de-duplication processing, and in contrast, the de-duplication is not applied to maintain performance for a volume for which a low capacity-reduction effect is provided by the de-duplication processing.
