STORAGE SYSTEM, STORAGE CONTROL APPARATUS, AND STORAGE CONTROL METHOD

In a storage system a write processing section writes data, of ejection object data, which is stored in a storage apparatus to an ejection portable record medium. A read processing section reads out data, of the ejection object data, which is not stored in the storage apparatus at the time of an ejection request being made from portable record mediums contained in a store section, and stores the data in the storage apparatus as data to be written by the write processing section. An ejection process control section controls timing at which the write processing section begins writing on the basis of an amount of the data, of the ejection object data, which is stored in the storage apparatus and an amount of remaining data, of the ejection object data, which is to be read out by the read processing section from the portable record mediums.
