Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Mini (16TB)

Blackmagic Design today introduced Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini, an innovative networked storage solution with the ultra-high performance of four M.2 flash memory cards in a RAID 0 configuration. With built-in 10G Ethernet, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is incredibly fast and allows multiple users to collaborate on video editing on software like DaVinci Resolve. Furthermore, with Dropbox you can synchronize numerous drives in different geographical locations.

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the perfect network storage solution for any situation. It's great for sharing large multimedia files intended for editing, color grading, audio post production and visual effects of film and television projects. It also handles huge 12K Blackmagic RAW files for digital cinema very well. Every user will enjoy zero latency, without having to save files on their computer. It is the ideal solution for DaVinci Resolve. 

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a compact form factor for rack installation and is portable and quiet. Inside it houses an array of four flash memory cards that operate in parallel to increase speed. The 10G Ethernet port and 1G Ethernet port act as a network switch. There's even an HDMI output for following graphics of storage activity in real time on a TV or monitor.

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini offers 8TB of flash storage to save large amounts of files. Fantastic for TV productions, it's small and portable yet super roomy for numerous video files. M.2 flash memory cards guarantee maximum reliability, access speed and zero latency. Organized in a parallel RAID 0 group, they are much faster than a single card and keep up with the speed of the 10G Ethernet connection.

Thanks to the high-speed 10G Ethernet connection, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is lightning fast. The internal core memory is designed to saturate the 10G Ethernet port at its maximum theoretical speed, even when multiple users are connected. Even at maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is silent and the noise from the cooling fans is minimal. It's also so fast that it offers truly smooth multi-camera editing of large digital camera files.

It's easy to set up a local file cache in Dropbox. You work much faster because the files are available instantly without having to download them from the internet, and Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini always remains in sync. It is possible to synchronize several Blackmagic Cloud Store Minis via Dropbox to allow users from different locations to collaborate with zero latency, because everyone will have a local copy of the files. Dropbox is also a fantastic backup solution. 

The HDMI monitoring output is simply fantastic: simply connect a TV or computer monitor and follow the activity of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini in real time. The storage map is a graphical representation of the core memory and marks the read and write data of connected users in real time. It also includes graphs of data transfer over Ethernet connections, and there is no shortage of information on the status of the connection to Dropbox, power, and connected users.

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini boasts a high-speed 10G Ethernet port (10 times faster than standard Ethernet), found only on the most expensive computers. It's fast enough to make maximum use of the 10G Ethernet port's capacity, even when connected to an Ethernet switch and dozens of users accessing files at the same time. 

Modern laptops are so thin that they don't have room for an ethernet port. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini solves the problem thanks to the ethernet adapter integrated into the USB-C connection. Simply connect the port directly to your computer to find all the files you need instantly.

Use the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini's USB-C port to back up your files. It's a big operation, and while M.2 cards are extremely reliable, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is a RAID 0 and backing up any storage device is always a good idea. Simply connect a USB-C disk or a USB-C disk array to the USB-C port and perform local backup without ongoing costs and with maximum privacy. It works with both a single USB-C disk and large USB-C disk arrays.

One of the benefits of Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is total control of your private storage system. There are no subscription or license costs, nor tracking of data or its use. You don't even need to access a web page to maintain settings because Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has its own utility, free to download for Mac and Windows. In this way you can manage a private network completely disconnected from the internet.
