The building of the Utah data center is well documented.
They even had "an opening ceremony" in May.

The capacity of this facility has also been documented.

This isn't the only facility for the NSA to store data.
It is, by far, the largest that I know of.

It is also documented that as part of Five Eyes, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are sharing data with the NSA, by spying on each other's citizens.
They are using the NSA's "cloud" which now includes the facility in Utah in order to do this.

Five Eyes is how they are getting round some of the "legal technicalities" of the NSA collecting massive amounts of surveillance data on EVERY American.
