But if you need fast transfer speeds, it doesn't disappoint. Again averaging five tests, it achieved random read speeds of 15.505 MB/sec and random write speeds of 18.366 MB/sec.Īt over £1,200 for a fully laden six-drive device, the Promise Pegasus RAID isn't a casual investment. But to give you an idea of just how fast it is, we also measured a perfectly capable FireWire 800 drive. Taking an average of five tests, it achieved a random read rating of 240.745 MB/sec, and a random write speed of 229.124 MB/sec.Īs it's Thunderbolt-only we can't make direct comparisons with other connectivity methods. The Pegasus R6 costs around 1,500 for the 6TB version or 2,000 for the 12TB version, making it one of the most expensive direct-attached external-drive storage. Although Thunderbolt's ceiling throughput speed is a much higher 10Gbps. We tested the Pegasus using QuickBench, which measures transfer speeds in megabytes per second. Our test computer used with the Pegasus R6 was a brand-new 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Lion, with a SATA 3 (6Gbps) SSD. Both models are clearly built with the Mac user in mind with their brushed aluminium finish and black trim, they're a perfect complement to the Thunderbolt-equipped computers in Apple's notebook and desktop range (the current release of any Mac except the Mac Pro). The Promise Pegasus2 R2+ (749 for 6TB) is a versatile desktop-class external hard drive for both Macs and PCs, with a built-in two-bay RAID array.
