Pegasus3 Series combines lightning fast speed and advanced RAID protection to ensure your work is safe and secure.

The perfect complement to the all-new MacBook Pro

The amazing all-new MacBook Pro from Apple deserves the finest Thunderbolt™3 RAID available. Pegasus3 Series delivers the capacity and performance engineered by the industry leader Promise, to make even the most demanding creative projects easy. With dual Thunderbolt™3 ports, expanding devices or adding dual 5K displays is fast and easy.

Configurations to fit any need

With 4, 6 and 8 drive configurations, from 12TB to 80TB, we have storage solutions to fit the unique needs of the production professional. Want more speed – Adjust your RAID settings. Pegasus3 Series supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD.

Master 4K – edit, store or stream!

Experience the ability to seamlessly edit and stream HD or 4K (Ultra HD) content, while backing up those files at the same time! Thanks to the world’s fastest connectivity speed (40 Gb/s – double the speed of the previous generation), Thunderbolt™3 perfectly supports bandwidth-hogging, high-resolution workflows.

Unleash your creativity

Being away from the studio for a shoot doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the RAID protection or speeds of your SAN storage. You can take this compact, portable package almost anywhere. This makes it ideal for filmmakers, photographers, graphic designers and other multimedia professionals, especially on set – where speed matters, and everyone is charging by the hour!
