I'll take that bet. I know someone who worked at a data center for the NSA. For storage, they were using off the shelf technology, just massive amounts of it. Tape has always had its uses in archiving, long term, and inexpensive bulk storage. That said, he claimed that the NSA was two years behind in processing the data and getting farther behind every day.

So what will this new format be called? LTO-140?

In the early days the Agency helped drive the development of data storage. Today maybe not so much.
