Blazing-Fast 8TB Network Storage for Creative Teams
Elevate your creative workflow with the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini 8TB, a high-performance network storage solution engineered for the demands of film and television production. Housed in a compact, whisper-quiet, rack-mountable design, this device eliminates storage bottlenecks and empowers global collaboration. At its core, four internal M.2 flash memory cards operate in a parallel RAID 0 configuration, delivering lightning-fast file access through a high-speed 10G Ethernet connection. This means your entire team—editors, colorists, VFX artists, and audio engineers—can access and work on massive 12K Blackmagic RAW files simultaneously with zero latency, directly over the network.
The Cloud Store Mini is more than just fast local storage; it's a gateway to a truly global workflow. With seamless Dropbox integration, you can set up a local cache of your project files. Multiple Cloud Store Mini units in different geographic locations can be synchronized, ensuring everyone has the fastest possible access to a local copy of the media. This distributed model is perfect for multicam editing and remote collaboration, turning slow internet connections into a non-issue for file access. Setup is remarkably simple, with no IT consultants, subscriptions, or license fees required—just the freedom to control your own private storage.
Monitoring your storage has never been more intuitive. A unique HDMI monitoring output lets you connect any TV or monitor for a live, graphical view of the memory core, user activity, data transfer rates, and Dropbox sync status. Connectivity is incredibly versatile, featuring a 10G Ethernet port for maximum speed, a 1G port for network flexibility, and a built-in USB-C to Ethernet adapter for quick, direct access from laptops. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini 8TB is the definitive storage solution for professionals who need speed, reliability, and total control.

If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
