Promise Pegasus RAID Storage with ThunderboltPosted by CyWar
>Never any issues except what I think was a Thunderbolt disconnect twice during that time.
I've heard about issues with Thunderbolt and having a handphone too near the drive. Here's a reference: [forums.macrumors.com] www.strypesinpost.com
There is an in-depth review over here
[www.fcp.co] A line has 2 Sides [finalbug.net] [paurray.de] [lostsensemedia.org]
I purchased an R4 8TB unit along with a 27" imac and Retina MBP in December/January. The unit was a simple plug & play and has been stellar at keeping up with live capture of 1080i prores files through our BlackMagic Ultra Studio 3D SDI capture, until Monday when I noticed Drive 1 had failed. A quick ... well ok it was an hour... call to Promise Tech Support and a replacement drive was on the way (standard shipping is 2 day ground... paid extra for overnight).
I was able to keep working off of the unit and all of my files played fine. Installed the replacement drive last night and let the unit rebuild itself. Took about 4 hours... and all is well. So far I'm pretty happy with the unit and Promise overall. I use the R4 along with 2 Drobo FS and 1 DroboPro 16TB units and had more issues with the drobos out of the box.
