It's a question of miniaturization.

Data's a better computer than anything else the Federation has the size of a Soccer ball, but lets not forget that they have computers the size of planets stockpiling and processing information.

Where?
I don't recall any planet sized computer.

I thought I was talking about Memory Alpha from TOS.

But just because they call it the "Memory Planet", it doesn't mean they entire planet is paved server farms 40 milies deep like Trantor.
