There is a cache memory, which has a cache area allocated to each communication port of an external storage subsystem. When data conforming to an I/O command received from a host is in an external LDEV, and when there is no cache hit in this cache area, an I/O command is issued to this external storage subsystem, and then the result of I/O processing is sent to the host. A storage control system measures response time by issuing a dummy I/O command to each communication port. The larger cache capacity is allocated to a communication port with the larger measured value. As a result of this, there is an increased probability of a cache hit in a cache area corresponding to a communication port with a higher response time measured value.
