Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does FileBoost technology improve storage performance?
A: FileBoost uses intelligent SSD caching algorithms to accelerate frequently accessed files, reducing load times by up to 3x. This is particularly beneficial for professional video editing storage where large media files need rapid access during timeline scrubbing and rendering.
Q: Can I use this as both NAS and DAS storage simultaneously?
A: Yes, the PegasusPro R8 functions as a hybrid NAS/DAS system. Connect directly via Thunderbolt 3 for maximum performance, or configure network sharing for multiple users. The dual connectivity makes it ideal for collaborative workflows and thunderbolt storage array applications.
Q: What RAID configuration is best for video production?
A: For video editing, RAID 5 or RAID 6 provides the optimal balance of performance, capacity, and protection. The RAID configuration flexibility allows you to optimize for either maximum speed (RAID 0) or maximum protection (RAID 6) depending on your workflow requirements.
Q: How does this compare to other enterprise storage solutions?
A: The PegasusPro R8 combines the speed of direct-attached storage with network accessibility, making it superior to traditional data center storage solutions for creative workflows. The Thunderbolt 3 connectivity provides significantly faster access than standard network storage while maintaining enterprise-level reliability.
