I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about Pegasus. The Pegasus line of products from Promise is often thought of as high-end and high-quality. Also, the Pegasus2 R2+ is featured under the storage tab on I bring that up because if you are on that page you are a serious contender. If you’ve been to an Apple Store lately then you’ve probably ran into the Promise Technology Pegasus2 R2+ line of products. My favorite drives seem to be the ones that connect easily, don’t have huge power supply bricks and offer RAID options, such as RAID-0/RAID-1.

If anyone is planning to use a Pegasus 3 system under Bootcamp, then they should be aware that it will not allow you to boot into Windows 10 under Mac OS Catalina and that Promise has washed their hands of the problem.Every day I see dozens of different hard drives - from some serious RAIDs, like the Avid Nexis (formerly Isis), all the way down to the single-SSD via Thunderbolt. Promise has not updated the drive for the Pegasus 3 since May 2017.

Although Promise issued a firmware upgrade to the Pegasus 3 in November 2019, it does not resolve this problem. Eventually promise sent me a firmware upgrade that resolved the problem.

This exact same issue arose with my Promise Pegasus 3 just after buying a new iMac Pro when they came out. After months of requesting information (which I supplied) Promise Support informed me today that the issue is with Bootcamp and not with the Promise Pegasus, that they do not support Bootcamp, and that they can do nothing to resolve the issue.

I have been in almost constant contact with Promise Support since Octowhen this issue arose. (When one attempts to boot into Windows 10 under Bootcamp after installing OS Catalina, the boot hangs at the Microsoft spinning logo of white spots.)

I wanted to provide a final update on the issues with Promise Pegasus 3 systems operating improperly under Bootcamp after the installation of Mac OS Catalina.

This is another example reinforcing caution when upgrading. Larry adds: Tom, thanks for letting us know. Since many individuals on Macs use the Promise Pegasus raid 5 systems for editing, I thought you might wish to caution your readers about updating to Catalina until Promise issues new firmware and software that will support the Pegasus systems in Catalina. I have contacted Promise Support and they acknowledge that the Pegasus 3 is not supported in Catalina and no time frame for issuing new firmware that will enable the Pegasus systems to work with Catalina is known. However, in Catalina I am able to use the Pegasus 3 without any problems. failing to save a Subsystem Service Report after clicking on Save, and I find that after rebooting into OS Catalina, the Pegasus 3 runs for about 3-5 minutes each time apparently doing some sort of maintenance operation. In Mac OS Catalina I find that the Promise Utility does not operate completely correctly, i.e. Furthermore, I can attach the Pegasus 3 to my iMac Pro after booting into Windows 10 and it works fine in Windows (using Mac Drive) If I detach the Pegasus 3 from my iMac, I can use this method to boot into Windows 10 with no problems.

The boot into Windows 10 hangs at the Windows logo and the spinning circle of white dots. After installing Catalina, I am unable to boot into Windows 10 via this method. Under Mac OS Mojave I had no problems booting into Windows 10 using the Option Key on startup to bring up the Storage Manager and selecting Windows. I have a Promise Pegasus 3 R6 that I have kept fully up to date with both firmware and software updates as they became available from Promise. I wanted you to know about a problem that I have discovered after installing Mac OS Catalina on my iMac Pro.
