You can either find it in the model:

Model.find("Rack1");

or in the list of storageobject if you know the index:

Storage.system.storageObjects[2];

Where are you trying to use it?

The example already splits the capacity out by storage object and item:

I have a very small items (similar to TestTube) and I want to figure out how many of them can fit in a specific type of rack or storage unit. The problem is, my code takes forever to count them in each storage unit, and it often crashes. I have more than 250 storage objects and I do not want to consider all of them. Is there a way to make my code just look at one storage unit instead of going through all of them? How do I find an index of a storage object?

Use boxes of tubes and multiply by the quantity in a box. You won't be storing millions in the racks individually (I hope)

Do you mean there is no way to reference to a storage object individually?

I can not do boxing since that also going to check for every storage objects, i want to check just for one storage item type?
