Blackmagic Design Cloud Store, 320TB

Overcome geographical barriers and collaborate seamlessly with the Blackmagic Cloud Store, a 320TB storage solution designed specifically for media professionals. This high-capacity storage device allows you to share your media files globally, making it an ideal tool for editors, colorists, audio engineers, and VFX artists working on film and television projects.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is not just a storage device; it's a powerful tool that integrates with Dropbox and Google Drive, allowing for efficient synchronization and sharing of media files. Its advanced technology understands proxy workflows, enabling entire timelines and their associated media to be shared in mere minutes.

The device's internal memory core is engineered for speed, capable of saturating the four 10G Ethernet ports to their theoretical maximum speed, even when multiple users are connected. This results in low latency file access and rapid responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for sharing media between multiple users.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is also designed to handle massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files, providing zero latency for each user without the need for local storage. This makes it an ideal solution for DaVinci Resolve, where large media files need to be shared between multiple users for editing, color correction, audio post, and VFX work.

The device's design is both portable and quiet, unlike traditional IT industry storage products. Its vertical design houses an array of flash memory cards working in parallel for speed and data protection, and it even includes two redundant power supplies. The four 10G Ethernet ports operate as a switch, allowing connection to four separate computers, and an HDMI monitoring output lets you watch a live graphic view of the storage operating on a TV or monitor.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store also features a USB-C ingest port that automatically loads from any disk plugged in, and a USB-C backup port that automatically backs up cloud store files to any USB disk plugged in. This provides a cost-effective way to protect your critical files.

With the Blackmagic Cloud Store, you can monitor the status of your cloud store in real time via the HDMI monitor output. This feature allows you to view a storage map, speed graphs, sync, active users, and power status. The device also includes two 1G Ethernet connections for slower connections, and four 10G Ethernet ports for faster connections.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store uses M.2 flash memory cards for extreme reliability, high access speeds, and zero seek times. These cards are arranged in parallel RAID 5 groups for faster operation and fault tolerance. If a faulty M.2 card is detected, the cloud store will automatically enter read-only mode, allowing you to still access your files.

With its high performance and support for digital film files, the Blackmagic Cloud Store is an excellent choice for media professionals. Its ability to sync to Dropbox and Google Drive allows you to set up a local cache of your files, making them instantly available without needing to load from the internet. This feature also allows you to save space on your computer by moving cached Dropbox and Google Drive files to the Blackmagic Cloud Store, making them accessible to everyone on your local network.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is not just a storage device; it's a powerful tool for global collaboration. With its support for Dropbox and Google Drive sync, you can use multiple Blackmagic Cloud Store units to share files globally, eliminating delays in accessing them. This is particularly useful when working with large datasets or massive digital film and video files.

The device also features real-time monitoring via the HDMI output, allowing you to see the live status of the Blackmagic Cloud Store. This includes a graphic representation of the memory core and where read and write access is happening for the connected users. You can also view data transfers on the four main 10G Ethernet connections, the capacity of the memory core, and how much is currently used. You can even add a custom name to the store!

In conclusion, the Blackmagic Cloud Store is a powerful, high-capacity storage solution designed specifically for media professionals. Its advanced features and integration with Dropbox and Google Drive make it an excellent choice for global collaboration and efficient media sharing.
