Abstract: A storage controller measures a RAID group (RG) operating time, which is the operating time of an RG. The storage controller then corrects the measured RG operating time, which is used to calculate the operating rate of the RG, on the basis of a correction coefficient associated with the type of the physical devices (PDEVs) constituting the RG, and on the basis of the RG backend multiplicity, which is the multiplicity of the I/O commands transmitted to the RG.
