The Promise Pegasus5 R12 is the next-generation storage platform for digital media creators, built around Thunderbolt 5 connectivity in a compact 12-bay desktop enclosure that delivers massive capacity, fast performance, and rock-solid reliability whether in the studio or on set.
Beyond HD, 4K, and 8K video editing, Pegasus5 R12 is equally suited to audio production, digital art, and photography storage, supporting multi-stream editing of high-resolution content with smooth playback and uncompromised performance in professional production pipelines.
Thunderbolt 5 connectivity delivers 80Gbps of combined bandwidth, with Pegasus5 R12 reaching throughput up to 3,000 MB/s, and two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports allow daisy-chaining additional displays or peripherals without sacrificing the primary connection to the host computer.
The 12-bay design supports up to 12 x 3.5 inch SATA hard drives, scaling to as much as 288TB of raw storage, all in a whisper-quiet, compact enclosure with hot-swap drive replacement for minimal downtime during a drive service.
Pegasus5 R12 is protected by the proven PromiseRAID hardware engine with Predictive Data Migration, which continuously analyzes drive health, predicts potential issues, and automatically migrates data before a failure occurs, and inherits Promise's smart power management, entering a reduced power state automatically when the host computer sleeps, shuts down, or disconnects.
