Usage Note
Almacenamiento is the abstract noun from almacenar (to store), derived in turn from almacén (warehouse, store), which came from Arabic al-majzan. In modern tech Spanish, almacenamiento en la nube (cloud storage) is ubiquitous. The Arabic origin of almacén is one of the clearest examples of Spanish's Moorish vocabulary layer.
Examples
"El almacenamiento del servidor está casi lleno."
