They need to add the Death Star just to compare.

I think the Death Star is roughly 100x the size of a SSD.

Yeah size is cool, but technology is better. Star Trek tech wins because they can bend the laws of physics. Plus Trek technology gives the storywriters a more diverse range of plot devices.

Of course the Tardis is actually the largest and most advanced spacecraft in the universe.
