We heard our customers: Some workflows require the power and flexibility of a PC. But complex PC setups struggle to provide a simple high-speed external storage to deliver a secure and portable data pipeline. Now with Windows support, Pro Data is an extension of your PC workflow, bringing unprecedented speeds and security together with portable, massive capacity, ease of installation, and reconfiguration.
What does Pro Data storage dothat no other Windows storage can?
Fast Windows storage has been, let’s admit it, somewhere between absent and a pain to configure. Pro Data bringsa Thunderbolt plug–and play experiencecombined with breakthrough speed and security to Windows workflows.Pro Data is proper, professional, managed external media storage solution for Windows that also enables multi-platform workflows.
First and only Thunderbolt NVMe Multipathing on both macOS and Windows

What are new possibilitieswhen you combine Mac and Windows workflows on Pro Data?
Pro Data significantly saves timeand simplifies the workflows of teams that capture data on Macs and do anything else GPU intensive such as rendering environments for virtual production, photogrammetry, 3D animations, or major picture editingon Windows.
BAFTA award-winning production studio, Atlantic Productions, who has produced projects in collaborations with BBC, Meta and other major broadcasters and streamers, field-tested Pro Data Windows support on a recent project they ingested on Macs and edited on PCs.“We took over 15TB of video media, including 8K ProRes Proxy, 8K H.265, and 12K BlackMagic Raw files, and processed up to 27 mags on Pro Data. We relied on Pro Data’s speed for the edit, as our files—even in proxies— are enormous. We also need cross-platform functionality, high speed, and security for our partners,” said Steve Cullen, Head of IT, at Atlantic Productions.“The[iodyne Pro Data] form factor is a huge advantage on a location relative to other solutions we’ve tried in the past. The great thing about Pro Data now that we own them is the ability to reuse them on other projects once we’re done with this one.”
Before Pro Data, the go-to option for a multi-OS workflow was setting up a NAS. This is slow, luggable,and not portable for teams that need extra mobility, and flexibility to get the final cut to the finish line. Pro Datanow brings Thunderbolt speeds along with ease of use to Windows workflows. Really anything that’s GPU intensive can now be liberated by Pro Data.
Easily transfer the front-end creative work done on Macs, to the rendering power of your Windows machines, harnessing their massive GPUs. Pro Data empowers the new world of cross-platform workflows. Arnold, Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, After Effects, Corona, Octane, Redshift, Unreal Engine, V-Ray, Omniverse, Unity, Real, Autodesk, Premiere…they can now all run faster and better with Pro Data.
Pro Data 1.5 firmware update is now available with Windows support and coming to all existing iodyne customers’ devices for free. To activate Windows support on your device please follow these steps.
