Promise Pegasus Thunderbolt Storage System Used by La Fuente DJ

As a top DJ playing 350 shows a year at clubs and events around the world, La Fuente understands that external storage is essential to producing and protecting the HD videos and music he creates.

Looking for a solution that delivered reliable data protection, he turned to PROMISE Technology, Inc. and the Pegasus R4.

The company develops storage solutions optimized for media applications, including the Pegasus Series with Thunderbolt technology. These solutions are designed for creative professionals like La Fuente, who require performance and flexibility.

La Fuente replaced his USB 3.0 drive with the Pegasus R4 to help him edit and store his videos and music, including his library of soulful, upbeat and uplifting tracks. With an iMac paired with the external storage configured in RAID-5 (data protection if one disk fails), he stores over 5TB of music and HD footage shot with his GoPro camera that he uses to create videos of his performances and hottest tracks. With it, he can leverage the advantage of Thunderbolt, the fastest PC I/O connection on the market today, helping him backup his work. The RAID engine, featuring mature error-handling schemes for the ultimate in data protection, ensures the data is secure.

“I play 350 shows a year and travel all over the world, so when I am creating music, I need things to go smoothly – and I need to know my work will be safe because I can’t risk losing it,” said La Fuente. “The Pegasus R4 is really fast, and I like knowing all my work is safely backed up so I can just focus on doing what I love – making big, uplifting sounds and bringing non-stop energy to my shows.”
