An array/slice definition unit constitutes an array composed of a group of slices. The array is constituted by defining a storage area in a disk drive as a single physical array area of the array. The physical array area is divided to a plurality of areas under a certain capacity, and the divided areas are defined as the slices. A logical disk definition unit constitutes a logical disk by combining arbitrary plural slices of the slices contained in the array. A slice moving unit exchanges an arbitrary first slice entered into the logical disk and a second slice not entered into any logical disk including the logical disk.
