Blackmagic Design announced new lower prices for all Blackmagic Cloud Store models. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini 8TB is reduced to US$1,645, the Blackmagic Cloud Store 20TB was reduced to US$5,645 and the Blackmagic Cloud Store 80TB model is reduced to US$15,595. The Blackmagic Cloud Store and Cloud Store Mini are very fast high-capacity network disks designed to handle large media files used in Hollywood feature films. The design uses advanced flash memory so it easily handles lots of simultaneous users. With Dropbox and Google Drive live sync, files can be distributed between multiple units globally for very fast local file access, even on lower cost internet connections.
Blackmagic Cloud Store models are available immediately from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide from US $1,645.
Blackmagic Cloud Store models let customers share their media files globally, eliminating the cost of collaborating with talented editors and colorists around the world, the company said. The Blackmagic Cloud Store is a storage device 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 Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8 TB of flash memory. 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, the company said. 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.
The Blackmagic Cloud Store is available in 20 TB, 80 TB, and massive 320 TB models.
“Since we released these models, we have been working hard to make improvements in our manufacturing processes to help reduce the cost of building the Blackmagic Cloud Store family,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “These price reductions will help make network storage more affordable for customers who need to distribute large media files such as those used on Hollywood feature films quickly!”
