Blackmagic Design 8TB Cloudstore Mini Review - What's worth knowing!!

Описание: I have pushed the Blackmagic Design 8TB Cloud Store Mini to the limit for a couple months.

There's a lot to love about the Cloudstore.

But in this review I have concentrated on the cloudstore mini's usability, storage capacity, functionality and design as a networked DAS, while assessing its Pros and cons.

First the Cloud Store Mini lets you share your media files globally, eliminating the high cost of collaborating with talented editors and colorists around the world.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is storage that syncs and shares media with Dropbox and Google Drive. It even understands proxy workflows, so a whole timeline and its media can be shared in minutes. The internal memory core is so fast it can saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. File access is very low latency. It's perfect for sharing large media files between editors, colorists, audio engineers and VFX artists.

Designed for Film and Television
Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the perfect network storage solution for any use

It can handle massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files.

It’s the perfect storage solution for DaVinci Resolve.

Dropbox and Google Drive sync allows multiple disks to be synchronized in different locations globally. Then each location gets the fastest editing experience possible.

Portable and Quiet Design features a compact rack mount option.

Internally it has an array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speed. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port operate as a 2 port network switch. That’s 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-C even operates as a network connection, simply by plugging 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.

Flash Memory Allows Multiple Simultaneous Users
The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8 TB of flash memory, so you have lots of space for your files. That’s fantastic for television production, as it’s small enough to be portable, but it has enough storage space for lots of video media. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. Plus the four M.2 cards are arranged in a parallel RAID 0 group so they can operate much faster than a single card. That ensures enough speed to keep up with the 10G Ethernet connection. Plus in the future, as new larger M.2 cards are released, the flash memory cards can be replaced with new ones. That ensures a very long life!


High Performance for Digital Film Files
With a separate very high speed 10G Ethernet connection, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is very fast. The internal memory core has been designed to saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. It’s so fast, most computers cannot keep up! Plus file access is very low latency, so responsiveness is fast. That’s possible because of the parallel processing used by the memory core. Even at maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is extremely quiet with very little cooling fan noise. Even when editing large 12K digital film RAW files. It’s so fast, multicam editing is very smooth, even if it’s used with large digital film camera files.
