For me it is far more to consider the number of atoms in the solar system, as it implies a pretty obvious limit on the data storage that humanity can meaningfully use. Obviously only a tiny fraction of those atoms can be used to store information & furthermore the energy required to actually perform that storage is enormous compared to the energy we have available at present.
