Blackmagic Cloud Store 320TB

Full Description

Blackmagic Cloud Store 320TB is high-performance flash network storage engineered for large media and multi-user access across post-production, broadcast and VFX. Its NVMe M.2 memory core with RAID 5 delivers speed and redundancy, while 4× 10G Ethernet let multiple users work concurrently at full bandwidth. Native SMB support ensures seamless compatibility with macOS and Windows without proprietary client software. The integrated HDMI output provides live status—capacity, cloud sync, user activity, hardware health, storage map and bandwidth graphs—for operational visibility.

Cloud Store integrates with Blackmagic Cloud to synchronize and distribute media across locations, accelerating proxy/full-res delivery for remote teams. Dedicated USB-C ports automate ingest from external USB drives and scheduled backups directly from the array. Up to 200 SMB clients are supported, making it a scalable shared solution for editors, colorists, sound and VFX artists working in 4K/8K/12K.

The design features dual internal power supplies, status indicators, and management via Ethernet/USB-C using the Blackmagic Cloud Setup utility with straightforward firmware updates. All key specs below are verified against the official Tech Specs.
