Product Overview The Blackmagic Design Cloud Store 320TB is a high-capacity, high-performance network storage system built for film and television workflows, where large media files are shared between many users for editing, color, audio, and VFX. It uses an array of NVMe M.2 flash cards in a RAID 5 configuration, presents four 10G Ethernet ports plus two Gigabit ports, and offers Dropbox sync so multiple units can stay synchronized across locations. There are no subscription fees and no IT consultants required. Product Description This 320TB store is designed to handle digital cinema files, up to 12K Blackmagic RAW, with zero local-storage requirement per user. Its memory core uses M.2 flash cards in parallel RAID 5 groups for speed and fault tolerance — every sixth card carries parity, and the unit enters read-only mode if a card faults so files stay accessible. Four 10G Ethernet ports work as a built-in switch for four separate computers or combine via link aggregation for up to 40G; two 1G ports keep the 10G ports free for faster machines. Two USB-C ports handle automatic ingest and backup (and support Ethernet over USB), while an HDMI monitor output shows a live status display — storage map, per-port speed graphs, sync status, connected users, and power status. Dropbox sync keeps multiple stores aligned across sites so every location works from a local copy with no latency. Two redundant power supplies and a repairable, whisper-quiet vertical chassis round out a design built for mission-critical use. It runs from a free Mac/Windows utility and can operate fully offline. Key Features 320TB NVMe flash — M.2 cards in parallel RAID 5 for speed and fault tolerance. Four 10G Ethernet + switch — Four computers, or link-aggregate to 40G. Two 1G Ethernet — For slower connections, keeping 10G ports free. USB-C ingest & backup — Automatic load and backup; Ethernet over USB supported. HDMI status display — Live storage map, speed graphs, sync, users, power. Dropbox sync — Synchronize multiple stores globally for local-speed access. Redundant power — Two internal supplies; repairable chassis. No subscriptions — Private storage controlled via a free Mac/Windows utility. Technical Specifications Model DWCLDI/CLD320 Storage Capacity 320 TB Drive Interface NVMe M.2 RAID RAID 5 (with link aggregation and failover) Network 4× RJ45 10GbE; 2× RJ45 Gigabit Other I/O 2× USB-C 3.x (ingest / backup, Ethernet over USB); 1× HDMI monitor out Protocols SMB File Systems (external) HFS+, exFAT OS Compatibility Windows 10/11; macOS 11.1 or later Power 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 400 W max; 2 PSU (redundant) Dimensions 11.6 × 7 × 7" (29.5 × 17.8 × 17.8 cm); 13.2 lb / 6.0 kg FAQ How fast is the network connection? Four 10G Ethernet ports work as a switch for four computers, or aggregate to 40G; two 1G ports handle slower links. What protects the data? A RAID 5 array of NVMe M.2 cards with parity, plus dual redundant power. If a card faults, the store goes read-only so files remain accessible. Are there subscription fees? No. It's private storage managed by a free Mac/Windows utility, and it can run fully offline. How does it compare to the Cloud Store Mini? The Mini is a smaller, lower-cost half-rack unit with a single 10G port and a RAID-0 four-card core; the 320TB is the high-capacity flagship with four 10G ports, RAID 5, and redundant power.
