The Iodyne Pro Data 24TB is a $14,995 external storage array designed for professional video teams. It packs 12 NVMe SSDs into a 7.3-pound aluminum chassis that can be accessed by up to four Macs simultaneously over Thunderbolt. This isn't a NAS—it's a direct-attached drive that multiple users can share without network bottlenecks.

The device delivers up to 5.2 GBps read speeds and 2.4 GBps write speeds when using multipath connections, maintaining that performance until the drive is full—no cache slowdowns. It features eight 40Gbps Thunderbolt ports arranged in pairs, with each pair supporting either four separate users or two high-speed connections to a single Mac. The 24TB model provides 20TB of usable storage in RAID-6 configuration.

Weighing 7.3 pounds with a 15.39-inch footprint, it's larger than a 16-inch MacBook Pro but portable enough for studio transport. The target audience: production teams working with 8K HDR 3D dailies where multiple editors need simultaneous access to enormous files. For a single user, this is impractical overkill—but for the right workflow, the time saved justifies the premium.
