Thunderbolt™ 5 Performance
Harness the latest 80Gbps Thunderbolt™ 5 interface, enabling ultra-fast throughput for demanding creative applications.
Hybrid HDD & NVMe Architecture (Pegasus5 R12 Pro only)
A true hybrid design with 12 × 3.5" SATA HDDs and 4 × M.2 NVMe SSDs, enabling tiered storage for both large capacity and lightning-fast SSD workflows. Flexible RAID options ensure data protection and performance tuning for SSD-based projects.
High-Capacity 12-Bay Design
Compact desktop enclosure supporting 12 × 3.5" SATA HDDs, scaling up to 288TB of raw storage, with whisper-quiet operation and hot-swap drive replacement for minimal downtime.
Optimized for High-Resolution Workflows
Built for modern production pipelines, Pegasus5 R12 supports multi-stream editing of 4K, 6K, and 8K content, ensuring smooth playback and uncompromised performance in professional environments.
PromiseRAID with Predictive Data Migration (PDM)
Equipped with the PromiseRAID hardware engine for performance and reliability. Exclusive PDM technology continuously analyzes drive health, predicts issues, and automatically migrates data before failure occurs.
Smart Power Management Architecture
Pegasus5 R12 series inherits the excellent power management features of PROMISE storage systems. If the host computer enters sleep mode, is shut down, or if the Thunderbolt™ connection is disconnected, the Pegasus5 R12 series enters reduced power state..
