According to one embodiment, a mapping manager of a storage controller changes a first chunk from a second state to a third state if an access condition to the first chunk is a first condition that needs high speed access and the first chunk is in the second state. The second state is a state in which a first logical address of the first chunk is mapped to a first physical address in a second storage device slower and having a larger capacity than a first storage device. In the third state, the first logical address is mapped to a second physical address in the first storage device and also mapped to the first physical address in the second storage device.
