## Allocate cache storage
161+
162+
Optionally, you can configure the amount of cache storage that can be used by each storage target. This feature lets you plan ahead so that space is available to store a particular storage system's files.
163+
164+
If you do not customize the storage allocation, each storage target receives an equal share of the available cache space.
165+
166+
Click the **Allocate storage** button to customize the cache allocation.

![Screenshot of the storage targets page in the Azure portal. The mouse pointer is over the 'Allocate storage' button.](media/allocate-storage-button.png)

On the **Allocate storage** blade, enter the percentage of cache space you want to assign to each storage target. The storage allocations must total 100%.

Remember that some cache space is used for overhead, so the total amount of space available for cached files is not exactly the same as the capacity you chose when you created your HPC Cache.
