You can always use as much disk resource as available, the `blk-weight` only kicks in if the disk is over-provisioned to manage sharing between different instances on the same allocator

It uses the same weighting as the CPU (ie changing one cluster's CPU weight will also increase its IO weight as discussed [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ece-ram-to-storage-ratio/101878/10))
