Blackmagic Design 8TB Cloudstore Mini Review - What's worth knowing!!

Ive been using the 8tb cloudstore mini by Blackmagic Design for well over a month and its a pretty awesome device. My review is reflective of how I see the cloudstore minis best use case, being as a networked DAS. But I would like to hear what you all think about the cloudstore mini and whether you are considering buying one....

SMB is a network protocol and AFPS is a file system. There's no sense to compare SMB vs AFPS. Probably you mean SMB vs AFP - these both are network file protocols

How do you not have tons more subs

wow.. great to know. thq for the informative video

Good stuff, but I do find that mike that obscures half your face very disconcerting. Why not have the mike lower down and further away, if your studio/room is quiet enough? Or up and away on a boom? Less proximity effect, but you can EQ how you like in post. Hopefully a constructive comment - no criticism intended.

Another interesting thing I found with the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is no support for syncing to Dropbox Team or Business folders. I can't see my Team folder in the Cloud Sync software. Only my personal folders. Bit of a bummer when trying to work with a Team and collaborate, which is what this product is suppose to be about!

Great Review! One feature I found lacking on my Cloud Mini 8TB was the portable direct USB-C connection to laptop. The back port is only 5Gb/s! Only about 300MB/s on a port to MacBook Pro or PC compared to 10Gb/s over network. Which gets about 800MB/s. Would be nice if this device had a Thunderbolt port for fast direct work when working remote. Only work around is connecting a Thunderbolt to 10Gb network adapter then 10Gb RJ45 to Cloud Mini. Now I am lugging around 2 items in my backpack! For the price it should also have Thunderbolt for direct connect!

Do you plan to make a video using a synology NAS with Davinci Resolve?

When starting out to rig a Blackmagic 6k pro what is a good first lens choice?

Hello. I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Photography sure has changed since I bought my Canon AE-1 in 1979. I have shot some 16mm film back in the day in 1972 with a borrowed camera. In today's time frame I am most intrigued with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K Pro. I think I will get one after the first of the year. Thanks for your videos.

The big takeaway for me is that its 8tb for $2500 and its dumb as a post?! NOPE! Great video though!

It should have PtoP and a slot and modules you can swap in and out with m.2 drives you buy yourself..

Need this

It’s bits per second when it’s a lowercase b. You had me confused with the gigabytes! I was wondering how this thing is faster than the 10 Gigabit connection!

Good explanation. Now have better understanding of the cloud

Wow! That was one impressive & informative video - so Pro production values too! I agree with previous comment - you deserve more views.
