Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini

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 post, and VFX work. It can even handle huge 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files. Every user works with no latency and they don't need to store any files on their local computer. It is the perfect solution for DaVinci Resolve.

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini features a compact rack-mount design that is highly portable and whisper-quiet. Internally, it has an array of 4 flash memory cards that work in parallel for faster speed. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port work as a 2-port network switch. There's also an HDMI monitor output, so you can watch a live graphic of the storage on a TV or monitor.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8 TB of flash memory, giving you plenty of space for your files. That's great for television production, because it's small enough to be portable, but it has enough storage space for a lot of video media. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, fast access speeds and zero seek times. In addition, the four M.2 cards are arranged in a parallel RAID 0 group so that they can run much faster than a single card. That provides enough speed to keep up with the 10G Ethernet connection.

With a separate very fast 10G Ethernet connection, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is very fast. The internal memory core is designed to saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even when multiple users are connected. Even at maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is extremely quiet with very little cooling fan noise. It is so fast that multi-camera editing is very smooth, even when used with large digital movie camera files.

Now you can set up a local cache of your Dropbox files. This makes work much faster as files are readily available without having to be downloaded from the internet. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini will work constantly to keep in sync. You can even sync multiple Blackmagic Cloud Store Minis through Dropbox so that people in different geographic locations can collaborate without delay because everyone has a local copy of the files. Dropbox is also a fantastic backup solution.

The most exciting feature is the HDMI monitoring output. Simply connect a TV or computer monitor to get a live status of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini. The storage card shows a graphical representation of the memory core and real-time read and write access for the connected users. There are also graphs showing customers the data transfers on the Ethernet connections. The status for each Dropbox connection is also displayed. It is even possible to see connected users and the status of the power supply.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a fast 10G Ethernet port, which can only be found on expensive workstation computers. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is so fast that it will use the 10G Ethernet port to its maximum capacity. Even when connected to an Ethernet switch with dozens of users accessing files simultaneously.

Modern laptops are so thin that they often don't even have an Ethernet connection. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a built-in USB-C to Ethernet adapter. Once you've connected the Cloud Store Mini's USB-C connection to your computer, you'll have an Ethernet connection to the storage. That means you can just plug in to quickly grab files when you need them urgently.

The USB-C ports on the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini can be used for backing up files. Backup solutions are important because while M.2 cards are extremely reliable, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini uses RAID 0, so it's always a good idea to back up any storage device. To solve this problem, simply plug a drive into the USB-C port, allowing you to perform local backups with no running costs and complete privacy. It works with a single USB-C drive or a USB-C drive array.

One of the great advantages of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the private storage that you can fully manage. There are no subscriptions to sign up for. There are no monthly license fees. There is no tracking of your usage or data. You don't even need to log into a web page to keep the storage settings because Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini uses a free downloadable software utility that runs on Mac and Windows. That means you can use a private network, completely disconnected from the internet.
