A storage system capable of cutting back the resource while obtaining a
WORM function. A controller (110) functions to: obtain, when a write
request is made by a computer (300), information on one of logical
devices that is a target of a write process, from a memory module (140);
and inform, when the logical device is set to unwritable, a signal
indicating that the logical device is set to unwritable, to the computer
(300). An interface (200) functions to: reference meta-information held
in a disk drive (130) to obtain a list of files that are not accessed for
a predetermined period; secure a logical device; and cause the controller
(110) to store, the files on the list of files and set the logical device
that stores the files in a manner that makes information stored in the
memory module (140) unwritable.
