#PROMISE PEGASUS R4 HARD DRIVE REPLACEMENT UPDATE#

Most likely that was a drive failure however and the system alerted me immediately before the failure actually happened, so I was able to prepare. The PROMISE Pegasus2 R2+ Thunderbolt 2 Hardware RAID storage solution that features two hot-swappable hard disk drives and a versatile Media Bay and offers blistering performance for creative professionals creating high-resolution video and rich media content. One of those 2TB after market drives failed on me, which is why I'm thankful I have a RAID 5. Now rebuilding a failed 3TB drive in a pegasus R4 RAID5 thanks to you. I bought the 4TB Pegasus R4 and swapped out the 4 1TB drives with 2TB drives. If Pegasus Manual could be that clear and simple I know technology, but frankly, after reading the manual almost from cover to cover, I couldn’t even get to activate the greyed Rebuild button frustrating. Having the Pegasus operate as a RAID 5 and backing that up to an external NAS is all you need - you shouldn't need to have a triple backup unless you are super paranoid You take a slight hit on the write, but the read is still blazing (or is it the other way around?) and a bunch on the list are EOL'd so hard to impossible to get.

RAID 1 is most certainly slower than RAID 0. I hope Promise does a significant update to the Promise 2 hard drive compatibility list.

For my money, I'd rather have the option to spend $150 and save my investment.ģ. If 1 drive fails, the whole system goes down. The G-DRIVES while I'm sure are nice, contain two 2TB drives in a RAID 0. I also choose to run it in RAID5 so that if 1 drive goes down, they all don't die.Ģ. I'd go for the Pegasus for a few reasons:ġ.
