Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini - 8tb

The Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Mini 8TB is a specialized, ultra-fast network-attached storage (NAS) device designed specifically to solve the high-bandwidth bottlenecks faced by Hollywood-caliber film and television post-production teams. Housed in a compact, rugged, and silent half-rack metal chassis, this portable unit acts as a localized private server that bridges physical editing bays with global cloud environments. Inside, it utilizes four high-performance M.2 NVMe SSDs configured in a parallel RAID 0 array. This internal architecture is optimized to fully saturate its high-speed 10G Ethernet pipeline, delivering read and write speeds that approach nearly 900 megabytes per second. This immense throughput allows dozens of editors, colorists, audio engineers, and VFX artists to simultaneously stream, scrub, and edit multi-camera 4K, 8K, or Blackmagic RAW footage directly off the network without experiencing latency, dropped frames, or the need to copy massive media files locally to their individual workstations.What elevates this device beyond a standard high-speed hard drive array is its deeply integrated, intelligent cloud synchronization and post-production ecosystem. It features native, automated syncing with popular platforms like Dropbox, Google Drive, and AWS S3, allowing distributed global teams to collaborate seamlessly. When a production camera shoots footage on set, the included Blackmagic Proxy Generator software can automatically convert the heavy camera original files into lightweight proxy files; the Cloud Store Mini then immediately syncs these small files across the globe to remote editors in seconds. Because it is built from the ground up for DaVinci Resolve workflows, an editor in London and a colorist in Los Angeles can work on the exact same project timeline simultaneously. The system also includes a dedicated HDMI monitor output that transforms any television into a live diagnostic dashboard—rendering real-time storage maps, bandwidth graphs, data transfer speeds, and active user connections so technicians can monitor network health at a glance. Backed by dual power options (an internal AC supply and a locking 12V DC barrel for on-set battery operations), it functions as a zero-maintenance, subscription-free collaboration hub for elite content creators.
