This ultra‑high‑capacity network storage system is built for the largest and most demanding film, television and broadcast workflows, where massive media libraries must be shared instantly across many workstations. Designed as a turnkey solution, it delivers enterprise‑class performance without the complexity of traditional IT storage, making it ideal for post‑production houses, broadcasters and facilities working with long‑form, multicamera and high‑resolution content.
At the heart of the system is an advanced M.2 NVMe flash memory array with a total capacity of 320 TB. The internal storage uses RAID 5 distributed parity, combining data protection with sustained high throughput. This architecture ensures consistent performance and low latency, even when dozens of editors, colourists, audio engineers and VFX artists are accessing media at the same time. Large digital cinema formats, including very high‑resolution RAW files, can be played and scrubbed smoothly without the need for local copies.
Connectivity is designed for high‑density collaborative environments. Four integrated 10 Gbit Ethernet ports provide high‑bandwidth access for modern workstations and operate as a built‑in switch, simplifying installation. Two additional 1 Gbit Ethernet ports are included for slower systems or internet connectivity. This flexible network layout allows facilities to scale workflows without redesigning their infrastructure. File sharing is supported via industry‑standard NFS and SMB protocols, with support for up to 200 connected computers.
Dedicated USB‑C ports handle both media ingest and backup. One port automatically copies files from connected USB drives into the internal flash storage, while the second port performs automatic backups to external USB disks. Both ports support Ethernet over USB, allowing direct configuration or access from a laptop when required. Native Blackmagic Cloud integration enables global media synchronisation, so multiple locations can work from fast local copies while proxy workflows minimise bandwidth usage.
Monitoring and control are simple and visual. An HDMI output provides a real‑time graphical overview showing storage usage, user activity, cloud sync status and network throughput. A discreet status light on the underside indicates normal operation or alerts operators to disk or power issues. Dual internal AC power supplies support reliable operation in mission‑critical environments.
