#Promise pegasus2 r6 12tb series#

Compared to a LaCie 5Big Thunderbolt drive also configured as RAID 0, we found the striped Pegasus2 to be about 50 percent faster writing and 20 percent faster reading than the LaCie, overall. Black Magic Disk Test and AJA System Test both showed the RAID 0 Pegasus2 topping 1100 MBps writing and anywhere from 800 to 963 Mps reading. The Pegasus2 R6 is available in: 12TB (6 x 2TB), 18TB (6 x 3TB) and 24TB (6 x 4TB). Ideal for video editing or as a high capacity, redundant storage device when configured in RAID 5 or RAID 6.
