Blackmagic Design Cloud Store 20TB

Blackmagic Cloud Store 20TB is a high-performance network storage unit for film and television in a vertical, quiet design. 20 TB of M.2 NVMe flash memory in a RAID 5 array, four 10G Ethernet ports with a built-in switch and synchronization with Blackmagic Cloud give editors, colorists and audio engineers simultaneous access to large projects, with no monthly subscription.

Vertical network storage for teams that do not want to wait for copying

Quiet flash storage with a built-in 10G switch for editing, color correction, audio and effects work on the same files.

Private storage with no subscription

The storage stays fully under your control: no monthly fees, no tracking of data or activity, and settings are made with a free utility for Mac and Windows, with no web account. It also works on a network completely disconnected from the internet.

RAID 5 protects your data

The M.2 cards work in a RAID 5 array in which every sixth card holds parity data. After a card is replaced, the files are rebuilt from it.

Repairable design

The storage is built around a core chassis to which the memory boards and power supplies are bolted. The assemblies can be unbolted and replaced, and every M.2 card has its own fault LED.

File sharing for the whole team

The memory core can saturate all four 10G Ethernet ports at once, even with many users connected. Low latency suits editing, color correction, audio and effects work, and the storage handles Blackmagic RAW files up to 12K. The four 10G ports work as a switch, so you can connect four computers directly, and the two 1G ports serve slower devices.

USB-C for quick access, ingest and backup

A laptop without an Ethernet port connects directly with a USB-C cable, because the storage has a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in. The USB-C ingest port automatically loads files from a connected disk or card reader, and the USB-C backup port automatically backs files up to a USB disk.
