The Cloud Pod is even smaller, in a sleek matte black with gloss black accents, making it very “deskable” for easy access.

They’re both fairly compact devices, with the Cloud Store Mini being 1U in height (1.74 inches) and half-rack in width (8.3-inches) making sticking two side by side on a rack shelf an option. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini and Cloud Pod Specificationsīoth the Cloud Store Mini and Cloud Pod come equipped with 10GbE network ports, 12V DC power options, USB-C ports, and an HDMI port for monitoring the devices. Blackmagic is asking $2,995 for the 8TB Cloud Store Mini and $395 for the Cloud Pod. This may seem extremely niche (it is), but we will discuss this in more detail a bit later. The Cloud Store Mini is a small form factor box with 8TB of NVMe storage configured in RAID0, and the Cloud Pod is designed to easily and quickly add USB-C storage to a 10GbE network.Īccording to Blackmagic, these are designed primarily for use in Film and Television applications and for small teams who have outgrown RAID on a computer, but are not quite at the budget or requirements for a more bespoke NAS solution, whether that be an off-the-shelf option from the Synologys or QNAPs of the world or something more turn-key like LumaForge’s Jellyfish line of products. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini and Cloud Pod are Blackmagic Design’s latest network-based storage solutions.
