An interview from the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas with Jason Williams at the iodyne booth. iodyne is dedicated to providing Pro users with the absolute best technology and tools to manage your most important creative assets. After more than 20 years designing some of the industry’s leading enterprise storage systems, including the revolutionary ZFS filesystem, industry-first Hybrid Disk/SSD ZFS Storage System, NVMe Fabrics protocol, and industry-first NVMe pooled storage and industry-first 100GB/s DSSD Storage System, iodyne’s founders have created a company to bring breakthrough storage technologies to Pro desktops and workgroups.

This year marks a significant milestone for iodyne: Pro Mini is now shipping. After generating industry buzz since its announcement, professionals who have been anticipating the world’s first Smart Drive experienced the full capabilities of Pro Mini firsthand through live demonstrations at NAB 2026, including:

• Pro Mini + Pro Data - combined workflows you have to see.

• Fleet Management - across iodyne devices and the ones you already own.

• Digital Label - personalize your drive with project names, camera numbers, contact information, logos, QR codes, and more

• NFC tap-to-unlock - assign per-user Passkeys and unlock drives with your phone.

• Find My - track your drive anywhere, in real time, with Apple or Google Find networks.

Also, the new Pro Data 96TB and 192TB configurations bring enterprise-level data capture, transformation, and delivery capabilities inside a backpack, acting as a micro data center at the edge. With iodyne, production teams have their best tools available to face the unknown:

•Full TruePut™ sustained performance, allowing for camera media ingest of up to 8.5 TB/hr

• XTS-AES-256 hardware encryption and RAID-6 protection for complete sovereignty over valuable IP — even without cloud access

• Compact, travel-ready form factor that fits in carry-on luggage, survives customs, and supports portable or XLR power

• RAID-6 data protection with 80TB usable for 96TB, and 160TB usable for 192TB, all in the same backpack-size form factor, and powered by AC or DC power adapters

At NAB, iodyne showcased real-world projects that are taking advantage of Pro Data — from major studio productions to YouTube creators who faced challenging field realities and needed the peace of mind that comes with iodyne’s reliability, encryption, and RAID security.

John Daro, Senior Colorist at Water Tower Color, who had to reinvent his color grading workflow for an immersive ride production, said: “No other solution would have let me travel light, set up fast, and work efficiently with these massive files.”

Coyote Peterson from Brave Wilderness chose Pro Data on their expedition to film the Komodo Dragon for the Brave Wilderness YouTube Channel’s 21+M audience: “When you’re filming something you can’t recreate — in a place you may never return to — your data workflow has to be bulletproof.”
