Note that all cargo containers give 125 liters of storage per half meter cube (small block) of space that they occupy. The weight of the container itself per liter of storage space decreases as the container gets larger. This is fitting, as surface area:volume decreases with larger cubes. The takeaway is to use larger containers.
