Blackmagic Design has introduced Cloud Store Ultra in 24TB and 48TB capacities with dual 100G Ethernet. The systems use RAID-5 and are designed for teams that need to record, edit and share high-bandwidth media at the same time.

Cloud synchronisation remains part of the product family, allowing selected content to be mirrored into distributed workflows. Blackmagic lists pricing from $8,835, excluding the rest of the production network and client infrastructure.

Why it matters

Central storage is becoming part of the live chain as replay, ISO recording and rapid-turnaround editing converge. Dual 100G links provide useful headroom, but media teams also need predictable behaviour under simultaneous reads, writes and sync jobs.

What still needs checking

Raw port speed is not the same as sustained usable throughput. Buyers should verify drive layout, rebuild performance, client protocols, failure handling and the effect of cloud synchronisation on active productions.
