The more drives generally means more storage space and RAID options. The number of drives is the only difference among the three models. Housing standard SATA desktop hard drives of 2TB, 3TB, or 4TB, the Pegasus2 offers somewhere between 8TB and 32TB, depending on the models. The Pegasus2 family includes three models - the R4, the R6, and the R8 - that can house four, six, and eight internal drives, respectively. The all new Pegasus2 R8 (left) next to the previous generation, the Pegasus R6. It's not perfect, though, since it's very expensive and, in my trial, would take a relatively long time to resume from sleep mode, making it a little inconvenient to use with a laptop.īut the Pegasus2 is definitely a desktop storage solution, and while for most consumers it's overkill, for professionals who need super-fast speed or archiving or real-time 4K video editing, its incredible performance is worth the hefty investment, which is between $1,500 and $4,600, depending on the model and capacities. It almost doubled the performance of its predecessor, as you'd expect from the move to Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt 2. In my testing, the Pegasus2 R8 proved to be the fastest consumer-grade direct-attached storage solution to date. Other than that it's very similar to the previous-generation models.Īs a hardware RAID system, the Pegasus2 supports all RAID configurations available for the number of internal drives it houses, be it four drives (the R4 model), six drives (the R6), or eight (the R8).
