Blackmagic Design

Designed for film and television productions, where large media files need to be shared between multiple users, the 8TB Cloud Store Mini from Blackmagic Design is well suited for editing, color correction, audio, and VFX work. It has a capacity of 8TB, which is made up of 4 x 2TB NVMe M.2 SSDs, which are preconfigured as RAID 0 and able to handle 12K Blackmagic raw digital cinema files. The Cloud Store Mini is also equipped with a 10GbE port and 1GbE port for network access as well as a USB-C port that features a built-in network adapter for systems that don't have an RJ45 port. An HDMI output lets you keep track of your Cloud Store Mini's status, including a storage map, speed-graphics, sync, active users, and power status.Designed for Film and Television The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the perfect network storage solution for any use! It's great for film and television where large media files need to be shared between multiple users for editing, color correction, audio, and VFX work. It even handles massive 12K Blackmagic raw digital cinema files. Each user gets zero latency, and they don't need to store files on their local computer. It's the perfect solution for DaVinci Resolve, and Dropbox sync allows multiple disks to be synchronized in different locations globally. Then, each location gets the fastest editing experience possible, which is critical for multi-cam editing where multiple media files are playing simultaneously.Portable and Quiet Design The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini features a compact rack-mount design that's very portable and whisper quiet. Internally, it has an array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speeds. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port operate as a 2-port network switch, which is great if you don't have a 10G Ethernet network, as you can connect the 10G port directly into your computer and the 1G port to your existing network. If you need to access files quickly, then the USB-C port also operates as a network port: just plug it into your computer. There is also an HDMI monitoring output so you can watch a live graphic view of the storage operating on a TV or monitor.Flexible Power An IEC power socket is included for connecting AC power. All international AC voltages are supported so you can use it globally. Plus, there is a separate DC power input for redundancy or battery use. 10G Ethernet The 10G Ethernet allows high-speed computers to be connected. It's fast, even when lots of users are connected, all at the same time. It's perfect for connecting to the latest 10G Ethernet switches. 1G Ethernet The 1G Ethernet connection is provided for slower connections, such as the Internet or slower computers. It is part of the built-in Ethernet switch and helps keep the faster 10G port free. USB-C Connection The USB-C port supports Ethernet for connecting it to your computer to access files. That's possible because there is a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in. This USB-C port is also used for settings and updates. HDMI Monitor Output The HDMI monitor output lets you see the status of your Cloud Store Mini in real time. Simply plug in a TV or monitor and you'll be able to see a storage map, speed-graphics, active users, and power status.Flash Memory Allows for Multiple Simultaneous Users The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8TB of flash memory, so you have lots of space for your files. That's fantastic for television production, as it's small enough to be portable, but it has enough storage space for lots of video media. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds, and zero seek times. Plus, the four M.2 cards are arranged in a parallel RAID 0 group so they can operate much faster than a single card. That ensures enough speed to keep up with the 10G Ethernet connection. Plus, in the future, as new larger M.2 cards are released, the flash memory cards can be replaced with new ones; that helps ensure a very long life.10G Speed -
