how to test read write speed pegasus2 r6

The promise support was good - especially when I starting calling instead of using email support but the process of discovering and attempting to solve the issue was excruciating. In the end I upgraded my unit to an R6 and now my speeds are constantly in the low 500MB/s range - Read and Write - which I am more than happy with.

I can absolutely confirm that there was a performance problem with my R4 unit from the start, although I will never know the cause or how it will be fixed. I recommend calling phone support for issues rather than using email support. Never dreamed I'd be so happy to have the problem that started this thread back in my life. They forced them back to life using remote login. They determined the drives were not dead, just registering dead. UPDATE2: Pegasus phone support was great. Raid 5 provides tolerance for one failed drive but not two. Shut down and removed second drive replacing first. UPDATE: Just removed one drive and booted. The RAID is striped RAID 5 - so I am thinking I could remove drives to see if one of them is causing the bottleneck and if I find one replace it with the new unit.

They also sent me a replacement drive unit. You can imagine how this impacts the stop-start nature of video editing. It gets there over about 4 seconds pausing first around 20, then 60, then 90, then 120 and tops out at around 160.

What makes this a particular problem is the time it takes to reach 160. Now I absolutely cannot get it to touch 200MB/s and 160MB/s is average. I thought I was out of the woods!īut then, within a half hour I tested it again. I swapped the drives, fired it up and at first was very happy to see a read speed of 340MB/s. So just shy of December and I have an update.
