Branch line with some storage capacity (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'branch' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'line with some storage capacity' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'some' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'storage capacity' becomes 'MB' (abbreviation for megabytes).
'l'+'i'+'mb'='LIMB'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limb that I've seen before include "A supporter" , "Branch - arm - leg" , "Substantial branch from a tree trunk" , "arm, perhaps" , "Jointed appendage" .)
