evo models
Choose the EVO by drives, depth and where it lives.
EVO is a NAS and SAN hybrid built for media: editors on macOS, Windows and Linux work from the same projects at the same time. Every EVO includes the EVO Suite software for unlimited users. What changes between models is capacity, drive type, network speed and the space it has to fit.
Rackmount · HDD or SSD
EVO 16 Bay
15.3TB to 2.4PB · 16 to 80 disks
The main EVO for media teams. Two 10GbE ports standard, with two 25GbE ports added on SSD models, and room to expand to 100GbE.
Rackmount · HDD or SSD
EVO 8 Bay
7.6TB to 720TB · 8 to 24 disks
Smaller footprint with the same connection options as the 16 Bay, for teams that want to start smaller and expand later.
Short depth
EVO 8 Bay Short Depth
18-inch depth
Built for DIT carts, flypacks and mobile racks where a full-depth server will not fit.
Second tier
EVO Nearline
64TB to 2.4PB · 16 to 80 disks
High-capacity storage for finished and inactive projects, so the fast EVO stays free for work in progress.
1RU
EVO Prodigy 1U
3.8TB to 30.4TB · 4 disks
A compact server that also brings the EVO Suite to storage a team already owns.
Desktop
EVO Prodigy Desktop
Up to 96TB · 4 bays
Quiet desktop shared storage for a small team working in the same room.
Rackmount models expand to 1, 10, 25 or 100GbE; Prodigy models to 1 or 10GbE. SNS includes basic support for the life of the product and a two-year hardware warranty; its Q:Complete Standard and Premium plans add phone support and faster hardware replacement.
evo suite, included
ShareBrowser, Slingshot and Nomad come with every EVO.
Storage is only half the job. The EVO Suite is how people find media, keep proxies current and keep working when they leave the building.
Media asset management
ShareBrowser.
Search and organize media from macOS, Windows or a web browser. Panels and extensions work inside Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer, with proxies, markers, subclips, project locking and one-click AI tagging.
Automation and transcoding
Slingshot.
Build proxies from BRAW, R3D, ARRIRAW and ProRes, add watermarks and burnt-in timecode, and schedule backup, sync and replication to another EVO or to cloud targets such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze and Wasabi. RESTful APIs for Slingshot and ShareBrowser are included.
Remote editing
Nomad.
Take proxies home with the same folder structure as the originals, edit completely offline, and relink cleanly when you are back on the network.
cloud, review and archive
When the team is not in one building.
SNS extends EVO into the cloud and onto the road. These are separate products, quoted to fit how your team works.
New in 2026
Outpost review and approval.
Share cuts for review in the browser with unlimited users and projects, with comments that land in the Premiere Pro timeline. Outpost connects to ShareBrowser, and SNS added web uploading in September 2026.
EVO Cloud
A hosted EVO with an included VPN, folder-level permissions and no ingress or egress fees.
MOD
A travel-size SSD server powered by EVO, from 7.6TB to 30.4TB with RAID 5, about seven pounds.
Trio
S3-compatible cloud backup and archive, with archive and restore from ShareBrowser.
AI Suite
On-premises transcription, translation and visual recognition, bought once with a perpetual license.
