Mac-Ready Pegasus3 Desktop RAID Solutions From Promise

In a move that addresses new Mac owners by providing them with the capacity and performance needed for the most demanding projects, Promise Technology, Inc. announced the addition of four models to its lineup of Pegasus desktop RAID storage system.

The Pegasus3 R4, R6 and R8 models feature more capacity – 16, 36 and 64 (and 80) terabytes, respectively – and bring 40Gb/s Thunderbolt3 performance to rich media workflows.

The addition of Pegasus3 models also continues the company’s tradition of being in lockstep with the latest from Apple, as they are a storage complement to the iMac and MacBook Pro offerings. Pegasus3 solutions were showcased during Apple’s keynote presentation at WWDC 2017, alongside the just announced iMac and MacBook Pro models. Pegasus3 models are tested, performance tuned and ready to ‘go out of the box’ for Mac users with a one meter 40Gb/s Active Thunderbolt3 cable for connectivity.

Optimized for performance and content protection, the Pegasus3 models deliver the speed required for generating high-resolution video and rich media content, and offering the safety and security of full-featured RAID protection. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports provide fast connectivity and the ability to easily connect up to six daisy-chained devices on a single port.

The company is at the forefront of Thunderbolt technology. It was the first to introduce storage solutions for both Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2, and its initial Thunderbolt 3 storage devices were among the first to be announced.

“Our new Pegasus3 models with Thunderbolt 3 are the perfect storage solution for users wanting to take full advantage of the incredible performance and capabilities of the new iMac and MacBook Pro,” noted Vijay Char, president, Promise Technology USA.

Additionally, when combined with its Apollo Cloud personal cloud storage device, company’s lineup of Pegasus3 models allow creative professionals to easily and securely synchronize and share small clips or low-resolution review files. Group members can review and comment via their mobile devices while on the go.

The Pegasus3 models will initially be available in North America. Preorders can be made through Amazon.com and select resellers. Availability will expand to additional regions later in Q2.

Further enhancing the collaboration factor is the fact that, when combined with the firm’s SANLink Series, the Pegasus3 models can be shared over a local workgroup ‘SANLink Workflow Use Cases‘.
