Jack, I wonder if you can comment on what I’d like to do when the next 4TB drive fails on my six drive RAID 10.Ĭase 4 rebuild after switching the drives slot 4&5

Of course it is a costly upgrade but if I do move to a Thunderbolt 3 system in the future I can buy an empty Pegasus3 and move the 10TB drives over. I also found out that the Pegasus2 can be configured with 10TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives in the future so my array can go from its original 24TB to 60TB. Now convinced that RAID 10 is the best choice for me. I had been considering RAID 5 or 6 when I first installed the Pegasus2, but with one drive failed, you can’t do anything on the system until you replace the drive and the rebuild will take much longer. And I can continue to use the system as usual until the new drive arrives. Rebuilding the array with a single new drive will be trivial in a RAID 10. I had selected RAID 10 for its combination of speed and redundancy. Promise will be sending me a new drive gratis as I had the three year AppleCare on the iMac and Pegasus2 purchase in early April 2016. I was just examining some individual DNG frames! I was shocked that this could occur on a unit that is less than 30 months old on a day when I had not written work to the drive or was even playing video from the drives. The unit gave up on that and I was left with a single dead drive. Yesterday I was doing some work on the computer that minimally read video raw frames from my Promise Pegasus2 R6 when it started doing a strange clicking sound.
