Designed for film and television productions, where large media files need to be shared between multiple users, the8TB Cloud Store MinifromBlackmagic Designis well suited for editing, color correction, audio, post, 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 Type-C port that features a built-in network adapter for systems that don't have an RJ45 port. There is also a 5 Gb/s USB Type-C port for standard data transfers, plus an HDMI output that lets you keep track of your Cloud Store Mini's status, including a storage map, speed graphics, sync, active users, and power status.
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 Type-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.
