Morphology
The meaning 'amount of storage on a disk' is directly derivable from combining 'disk' (a storage device) with 'space' (available area), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the concept. This is a literal, compositional noun-noun combination common in computing and across languages, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The term disk space comes from early computers that used a round disk like a record to hold information, and that disk only had so much space or 'room' for files. That's why today disk space means the amount of storage you have on a computer.
