Yeah, it really sounds a bit low. I'm not sure what else goes into these containers. I assume there might also be a bunch of portable equipment and cabling that goes into moving the data in and out of the container? Power infrastructure and cooling and what probably takes up quite a bit of space as well.

Id assume rhey put in some standard racks on shock absorbers and more redundancy than usual,
And wired all that up to acentral input.

Its probably not build to minmax the capacity,
but to fit the largest usecases.
