The Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Mini 16TB is a high-performance, compact network-attached storage (NAS) device designed for collaborative post-production and broadcast workflows in small to medium-sized workgroups. It serves as a fast, reliable shared storage solution, allowing multiple editors, colorists, and visual effects artists to simultaneously work on the same high-resolution media files, including 4K, 8K, and Blackmagic RAW projects. The "Cloud" in its name refers to its ability to facilitate collaborative "cloud-like" workflows on a local network and its built-in integration with Blackmagic Cloud for secure remote project sharing and backup.

At its core, the Cloud Store Mini features an internal RAID array configured for both performance and data protection, delivering sustained transfer speeds sufficient for multiple streams of high-bitrate video. It connects to the network via high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring low-latency access for all connected clients. Management is intuitive through a web-based interface, allowing administrators to set up users, projects, and permissions. A key feature is its deep compatibility with the DaVinci Resolve project library, enabling teams to store and access Resolve projects directly on the storage, with built-in version history and collaboration tools.

Housed in a compact, rugged metal enclosure, the Cloud Store Mini is built for 24/7 operation in professional environments. It includes SSD caching to accelerate metadata operations and frequently accessed files. By combining substantial shared storage capacity, high-speed networking, and deep integration with DaVinci Resolve, this device provides a complete, turnkey solution for post-production facilities and broadcasters needing to streamline collaborative editing and color grading workflows in a space-efficient package.
