Blackmagic Design Cloud Store 80TB

Technical Details

This advanced flash memory storage solution is engineered to accommodate multiple simultaneous users with ease, making it a top choice for film and television industries where large media files need to be shared between multiple users for editing, colour correction, audio post, and VFX work.

Key Features

• 80TB capacity
• Dropbox live sync
• Portable and quiet design
• Four 10G Ethernet ports
• USB-C ingest and backup ports

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is not just about capacity; it's about speed and convenience.

With Dropbox live sync, files can be distributed between multiple units globally for very fast local file access, even on lower-cost internet connections. This eliminates the need for IT consultants and subscription fees, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses.

Portability and Ports

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is also designed with portability in mind. Unlike traditional IT industry storage products that are rack-mounted and have loud cooling fans, this storage solution boasts an elegant vertical design that's portable and whisper quiet, making it suitable for on-location use.

The Cloud Store is equipped with four 10G Ethernet ports that operate as a switch, allowing you to connect four separate computers.

These ports can also work together using "link aggregation" for a massive 40G Ethernet speed. Additionally, it features an HDMI monitoring output for real-time storage status viewing on a TV or monitor.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store also offers a USB-C ingest port for automatic loading from any disk plugged in, and a USB-C backup port for automatic backup of cloud store files to any USB disk plugged in.

This provides a low-cost way to protect your critical files. With the Blackmagic Cloud Store, you can enjoy high performance for digital film files. Its internal memory core is designed to saturate all four 10G Ethernet ports to their theoretical maximum speed, all at the same time.

Editing and Reliability

This makes it incredibly fast and responsive, even when editing large 12K digital film RAW files. The Blackmagic Cloud Store also allows you to set up a local cache of your Dropbox files for faster working. It constantly works to stay in sync, saving space on your computer by moving cached Dropbox files to the Cloud Store.

This makes them accessible to everyone on your local network. The Blackmagic Cloud Store is designed with a redundant RAID 5 array of M.2 flash memory cards for extreme reliability, high access speeds, and zero seek times. This ensures massive speed combined with fault tolerance.

If a faulty M.2 card is detected, the cloud store will automatically enter read-only mode, so you can still access your files.

Models and power

The Blackmagic Cloud Store is available in 20 TB and 80 TB models. A standard IEC power socket is for connecting AC power.

Ports and monitoring

Two 1G Ethernet connections are provided for slower connections. The USB-C backup port can backup cloud store files to any USB disk plugged in. The HDMI monitor output shows storage status in real time.
