storage capacity
How much fits
Storage capacity is the amount of data or material a system can hold.
In computing, it measures how much information a device stores—a hard drive's storage capacity might be one terabyte.
The term applies beyond digital contexts: The warehouse has storage capacity for ten thousand pallets.
Capacity implies a maximum limit that can be approached or reached.
