Also, that is the raw output from the antenna array. This is then analysed before storing, compressing it down to a much more managable few GB/s.

It's analysed and stored in Melbourne, Victoria. The SKA Pathfinder is in Western Australia outside of Geraldton. Hence the data transfer statistics as the two sites are roughly 4,000km from one another.
