This high-speed I/O technology is capable of delivering two channels of 10 Gbit/s (1.25 GB/s) per port of performance. Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Pegasus R4 and R6 are the first 4-bay and 6-bay high performance hardware RAID featuring Thunderbolt technology.
Promise pegasus2 r6 series#
The Pegasus series of Thunderbolt-enabled storage are designed for professionals. The Vess R2000 was launched in August, 2012. The Vess storage system is used in surveillance applications and can handle unstructured data, disk-to-disk backup. Vess storage subsystems are designed for small to medium business and organizations of all sizes. The VTrak J-Class are expansion chassis that customers can use to scale their storage when they need more capacity. VTrak E-Class is used in film and video post-production, since users can scale performance and capacity to support large scale, uncompressed HD workflows. The Promise VTrak E-Class RAID subsystem is a high availability RAID commonly deployed by enterprises for mission critical and creative applications. founded in San Jose, California, United States. 1993 The VESA IDE chipset captured 75% of the world's OEM market.1997 Industry's first-ever ATA RAID controller created.1998 Created the first RAID on motherboard chip.Promise Taiwan listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (Promise Technology, Inc (3057.TW)). 2002 Shipped the first six-drive ATA RAID 5 controller.2003 Leads in ATA RAID for IA servers for the third consecutive year with 83% unit market share.2004 Announced VTrak, the world's first dual-port, HW iSCSI RAID storage subsystem.2007 Announced the VTrak E-Class, enterprise-class external storage subsystem and the first DLNA Network Attached Storage - SmartStor (NS4300).

Check back soon for more performance tests using the Mac Pro, Final Cut Pro X, and some competing drives. We didn’t have time to fully test the Pegasus2 with the new Mac Pro. Blackmagic Disk tests showed 1145 MBps write speeds vs 756 MBps for the first Pegasus and 695 read speeds, a 24 percent faster than the original Pegasus drive. AJA read tests came in at 957 MBps, 45 percent faster than the 659 MBps that the first Pegasus posted. With striped hard drives, the AJA 4K read test showed the Pegasus2 at 1142 MBps, 41 percent faster than the original Pegasus in RAID 0 mode. We then reformatted the six 2TB Toshiba DT01ACA200 drives into a faster RAID 0 configuration and we ran the tests again. Our 6GB large file transfer tests results were throttled by the internal drive in the MacBook Pro, with write tests topping out at 775MBps. Blackmagic’s read result for the Pegasus2 was 698, 19 percent faster than the result posted by the first Pegasus. The Pegasus2 was 31 percent faster than the Pegasus in the AJA Write test and 21 percent faster in the AJA Read test.īlack Magic Disk Test Write results were similar to the AJA results, with the Pegasus2 moving data at a rate of 851 MBps, 25 percent faster than the Pegasus’s 680 MBps result. We moved the drives into a first-generation Pegasus R6 with Thunderbolt and ran the same tests. The amount of data able to move through a Thunderbolt connection hasn’t increased, but the throughput of a single channel has been doubled.

Thunderbolt 2 is an update to the Thunderbolt specification and takes the original’s two 10 Gbps bi-directional channels and combines them into a single 20 Gbps bi-directional channel. Thunderbolt first appeared in the early 2011 MacBook Pro, but is now included on all shipping Macs. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a single connection, allowing for a combination of up to six peripherals, like storage devices, and monitors, to be daisy-chained together. Thunderbolt is an interconnect technology developed by Intel in cooperation with Apple. Our initial performance tests show that a single Pegasus2 R6 with 6 standard rotational hard drives can hit speeds higher than Thunderbolt can support, but does not fully saturate the 20 Gbps bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. The Pegasus2 has a black aluminum case to better match the design of the just-released
