This can be set in the config file under C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node if you are using the default path. You might not be able to save directly to that path. I had to make a copy (to desktop) and then edit that one and then copy it back.

Look for # total allocated bandwidth in bytes storage.allocated-bandwidth: and set it. Example storage.allocated-bandwidth: 10.0 TB
