I also had a few occasions where the G-Speed would completely corrupt itself if it was accidentally unplugged whilst the machine was still on. I found the G-Speed to be constantly "clunking" as the heads moved about whereas the Promise was overall, much quieter. Noise-wise, the tower sits on my desk so the quieter the better. I had a few cases open with G-Tech but nothing came of it, they were no help. Although I realise that most of these type of RAIDs are optimised for larger files, the Pegasus did a better job. For example I found that copying things like TIFF sequences or multiple smaller video files (like GoPro or other minicam etc) would slow the G-Speed to a crawl. The main reasons I prefer the Pegasus over the G-Speed are the lower noise and the better performance when dealing with smaller files. If you do decide to do this then you can see my posts on their forum that describe and link to the process of doing it. The process of replacing the drives was very straightforward.
I bought 24 of these and 3 more for spares in case I needed to swap out a failing drive (so far, all good).
Replace promise pegasus r4 hard drive code#
I think the largest on the list is 16TB.įor me, I replaced the 4TB drives that mine shipped with, with 8TB Toshiba drives, specifically Toshiba Enterprise MG Series SATA drives - item code is MG05ACA800E - I believe this is similar to what I bought. It hasn't been updated in a while but that shows you the drives they've tested it with. Hi, so I used the Promise compatibility document on their website to make sure I was using supported drives.
