The Promise Pegasus5 R12 Pro is the flagship tier of the Pegasus5 R12 platform, adding a true hybrid HDD and NVMe SSD architecture purpose-built for 8K editing, VFX rendering, and the most demanding high-end production environments.
Where the standard Pegasus5 R12 offers 12 bays of 3.5 inch SATA HDD storage, the Pro model adds 4 M.2 NVMe SSD slots alongside those same 12 HDD bays, enabling tiered storage that combines large-capacity HDD storage for media libraries with lightning-fast NVMe SSD storage for active projects and scratch space.
That hybrid design doubles the platform's throughput, with Pegasus5 R12 Pro reaching up to 6,000 MB/s over the same 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 connection, compared to 3,000 MB/s on the standard R12, giving editors and VFX artists dramatically faster access to their most performance-critical files.
Flexible RAID configuration extends to the NVMe SSD tier as well, letting studios tune data protection and performance specifically for SSD-based projects rather than applying the same RAID approach used for bulk HDD storage.
Every other Pegasus5 R12 capability carries over unchanged, including the PromiseRAID engine with Predictive Data Migration, whisper-quiet hot-swap operation, dual downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, and Promise's smart power management, making Pegasus5 R12 Pro a strict superset built for teams that need the absolute fastest workflow the platform can deliver.
