The Pegasus32 R4 is ready to use out-of-the-box, with the 16TB model offering four 4TB SATA 7200 rpm drives. Both models include Promise Utility for setup, management, and monitoring, as well as a three-year limited hardware warranty and 24/7 online assistance.

- If Pegasus Manual could be that clear and simple! I know technology, but frankly, after reading the manual almost from cover to cover, I couldn’t even get to activate the greyed Rebuild button frustrating. Now rebuilding a failed 3TB drive in a pegasus R4 RAID5 thanks to you. Smile coming back.

The Promise Utility is showing a dead physical drive in PdId #4 in my Pegasus R4 array.
The dead disk is only about a year old, so I wanted to try something...
I am on a Macintosh.
I took the 'dead' drive out of the R4 case and initialized it after I put it in an external drive enclosure on my Mac.
It initialized with no problem. I checked it with some disk utilities, and the disk appears to be fine.
So I put the reformatted physical drive back into the R4 unit.
- It still appears as a dead drive in the Promise Utility. (See below image.)
- I cannot change its config in the Promise Utility setting because I cannot click on either of the buttons that say, 'Passthru' or 'Unconfigured.' (See below image.)
- Using Terminal, I cannot clear a stale config, I cannot assign a 'config=unconfig,' I cannot take the drive offline because a message tells me that 'it is already offline,' and I cannot clear a PFA condition because a message tells me that the drive is 'in use.' (See below image.)
This all seems very weird to me.
Nothing I do can help the Promise Utility see the drive so that I can do a manual rebuild of the logical array.
I do not want to force the drive online, because the last time I did that, it caused corrupted file fragments in the 'Lost+Found' folder.
Can somebody please give me some comments or suggestions?
