diskspace

Megabytes and gigabytes

Diskspace is the storage capacity available on a computer's hard drive or other storage device: I'm running low on diskspace.

Usually written as two words (disk space), the compound form appears in technical contexts and casual usage alike.

Diskspace concerns arise when downloading large files, installing software, or accumulating data over time.
