GEAR. CLOUD EDITING
anyone else that requires the data in your network. This could be inside one office – or remotely, if set up for that. Alternatively, if you have a paid Dropbox account, things get more interesting. Files are available to anyone with Dropbox access without needing to download, as Blackmagic Cloud Store constantly stays in sync. Users who access the files work on them in your local storage. Since there’s no storage in the Blackmagic Cloud Store, there’s no subscription or monthly fees. Other services in addition to Dropbox will be added soon. Sitting above the Cloud Pod is the Cloud Store Mini, which has 8TB of internal storage, priced at £2574/$2995.

A 320TB model will also be available built to order, at a price that is still to be set. These Cloud Store devices use the chassis of eGPU accelerators Blackmagic used to sell, which were widely praised for cooling capability and performance. Now they have speedy SSDs inside, four 10G Ethernet connections, and a parallel memory core that sustains maximum transfer speeds on each 10G Ethernet port at the same time.
