storage bay
Cargo holding space
A storage bay is a designated space for holding items or equipment, typically one of several compartments in a larger facility.
The term applies across contexts: warehouse bays hold inventory, aircraft have cargo bays, and data centers have server bays.
In residential use, a storage bay is often a rented unit in a self-storage facility: We keep the holiday decorations in a storage bay across town.
