Abstract:
A storage system includes a plurality of nodes connected with a network and configured to provide volumes, a plurality of drive units; and a management system. Each of the plurality of drive units consists of a plurality of storage drives and is accessible from one or more of the plurality of nodes without intervention of the other nodes. The management system or one of the plurality of nodes is configured to determine number of storage drives to be included in a new distribution range to distribute data of a first volume based on access frequency to the first volume.

Claim (Index 7):
The storage system according to  claim 1 , wherein the management system or the one of the plurality of nodes is configured to:\n estimate a rebuild time under a condition of a number of storage drives in a current distribution range and a rebuild time under a condition of a number of storage drives in the new distribution range in a case where the determined number of storage drives to be included in the new distribution range is greater than the number of storage drives included in the current distribution range; and determine to maintain the current distribution range in a case where the estimated rebuild time under the condition of the number of storage drives in the new distribution range is longer than the estimated rebuild time under the condition of the number of the storage drives in the current distribution range.
