Next, we'll fire up this TB-enabled RAID array and see what sort of throughput it offers. Once connected to the system, the array acts like any other drive attached to the system. An easy to use setup utility give user's the ability to log in and see device/drive status and configure the RAID mode.
#PROMISE PEGASUS R4 RED LIGHT POWER BUTTON INSTALL#
Simply connect the Thunderbolt cable to the PC and R4, install the drivers, and you're done. Configuring and connecting the device couldn't be any easier. Inside our Promise Pegasus R4 were a quartet of Hitachi 1TB drives, initially configured for operation in RAID 5 mode, but the device also supports RAID 0, 1 and 10. Although Thunderbolt allows for power delivery through its cable up to 10W, that’s not enough juice to power the R4, so it needs to be connected to an electrical outlet as well. Underneath the smaller fan grill is a 3-prong power connector.

Install WebPAM PRO from the downloaded files.
#PROMISE PEGASUS R4 RED LIGHT POWER BUTTON DRIVER#
Install the PROMISE RAID Controller driver from the downloaded files. Connect the power cord and power on the Pegasus R4/R6. Connect the Pegasus R4/R6 to your Windows computer with a Thunderbolt cable. There’s also a couple of fan grilles on the back of the R4 to allow the device’s main cooling fan to expel warm air from the system and for the smaller fan to exhaust warm air from the power supply. Go to the Promise website and download the driver and software used for the Pegasus. At the very top of the back-side of the R4 is a 9-pin I/O port, adjacent to the device’s pair of Thunderbolt ports. The sides, top, and bottom of the Pegasus R4 are mostly bare, but there are a few things to see on the back. The build quality of the trays and bay mount seems very good everything fits together well and has a sturdy feel. I took the plunge and operated on my Pegasus R6 TB1. First off, thanks so much to everyone for contributing to this and making it a great resource (especially cfs.matt and Cinema5D). The actual drives are mounted into trays, which slide into the bays and are locked in place by simple latch mechanism. Breathing some life into this thread again. The rest of the front is dominated by the R4’s four drive bays, in a setup similar to most NAS devices currently on the market.

The R4’s only button, its power switch, resides at the top of the black strip which adorns the front. Save for a single glossy, black strip of plastic running down the left-front of the enclosure, the entire device has the same brushed metal finish throughout. The Promise Pegasus R4 has a clean, minimalist design aesthetic. We should point out, however, that Promise offers two Pegasus RAID enclosures, the four-bay R4 you see pictured here and a higher-end six-bay model, aptly called the Pegasus R6. But this is almost impossible Is there any way to 'reset' the Promise Pegasus without losing all data The unit is connected to a Mac Mini and I have the Promise software installed. In addition to the Intel and Asus motherboards featured on the previous page, we also scored a Promise Pegasus R4 Thunderbolt-enabled RAID enclosure to see how Thunderbolt behaved under Windows. After a power failure the Promise Pegasus R4 reports all disks drives as dead.
