Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini 8TB

This compact high‑performance network storage system is designed specifically for modern film and television workflows where large media files must be shared instantly between multiple users. Built around ultra‑fast flash storage, it delivers extremely low latency and consistent performance even when several editors, colourists, audio engineers and VFX artists are accessing media at the same time. The design focuses on simplicity, reliability and speed, eliminating the complexity normally associated with enterprise storage solutions. 

Inside the enclosure, four internal M.2 flash memory cards operate in parallel using a RAID 0 configuration, providing a total usable capacity of 8 TB. This architecture ensures very high throughput, allowing smooth playback and editing of demanding formats, including high‑resolution digital cinema files. Because the storage is fully solid‑state, access times remain consistently low, which is critical for multi‑user editing environments and real‑time workflows in DaVinci Resolve. 

Network connectivity is handled via a high‑speed 10 Gbit Ethernet port, supported by an additional 1 Gbit Ethernet connection for slower systems or internet access. This combination allows flexible integration into existing studio networks while still providing maximum performance for primary workstations. A USB‑C port is included for configuration, software updates and Ethernet‑over‑USB connectivity, making setup fast and straightforward without requiring specialist IT knowledge.

A key feature of this solution is its native Blackmagic Cloud integration. Media can be synchronised automatically between multiple locations worldwide, allowing each site to work from a fast local copy of the same files. Proxy workflows are fully supported, enabling immediate access to timelines while original camera media continues syncing in the background. This approach significantly improves collaboration efficiency while keeping bandwidth usage under control. 

Monitoring and system management are simplified through an HDMI output that displays real‑time information such as storage usage, network data rates, user activity and cloud synchronisation status. A front‑panel status indicator provides immediate visual feedback, showing normal operation or alerting users to disk or power issues. The rack‑mount design remains compact, portable and whisper‑quiet, making it suitable for studios, machine rooms or on‑set environments.
