Promise Pegasus Storage Systems Compatible With Apple macOS Big Sur and M1 Chip

Promise Technology Inc. announced that its Pegasus3, Pegasus32, Pegasus R4i, Pegasus J2i, and newly announced PegasusPro are compatible with Apple macOS Big Sur and the M1 chip powered Mac.

Additionally, these models are compatible with Intel-based Mac upgrading to Big Sur, making it possible for both new and existing customers to upgrade their devices.

macOS Big Sur is an upgrade to this OS since the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. In addition to a redesign of the user interface, macOS Big Sur is the first OS to be made for the first ARM-based custom SoC, the M1. The chip will also be compatible with the company‘s recently released advanced PegasusPro Fusion storage system, which was announced as a storage system to combine DAS and file-based NAS.

“Promise Pegasus Series is always a pioneer to keep the pace with technology updates, which is why Pegasus Series is well known and widely adopted by creative professionals. Promise R&D engineers started researching the compatibility with the new macOS Big Sur and M1 chip ahead of time to meet the xpectations of Pegasus users worldwide to ensure their storage devices are compatible with these two new upgrades, and to enjoy the peace of mind. Our persistent endeavours mean the existing Pegasus installations and new customers will continue rich media workflow without interruption,” said Michael Lin, CIO and R&D head.
