Pegasus32 Expected Performance Results for Default RAID 5 Configuration on Pegasus32 R4, R6, and R8
Babatunde Akinkuolie posted this 19 November 2024

The 1MB sequential results are indicative of performance scenarios typical for video ingest and playback applications. These benchmarks measure the ability of the storage system to handle large, sequential data streams, which is crucial for smooth media workflows.

Key Insights:
- 1MB Sequential Benchmarks reflect real-world use cases such as video editing, rendering, and playback.
- The results align closely with performance expectations when tested with industry-standard tools like the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test.

Performance Testing:
- The benchmark used for these results is an internal tool developed for accurate assessments.
- Similar outcomes can be replicated using widely-available utilities such as Blackmagic Speed Test, which evaluates storage performance for media applications.

Application Context:
1. Video Ingest:High sequential read/write speeds ensure fast file transfers from cameras or other media sources.
2. Playback: Smooth and uninterrupted playback relies on the ability to deliver sequential data streams efficiently.

The Pegasus32 series provides high-performance storage solutions with Thunderbolt 3 and USB compatibility. Below are the expected performance results for the default RAID 5 configuration:

RAID 5 Pegasus32 R4 Pegasus32 R6 Pegasus32 R8
1MB Sequential READ (MBps) 702 1205 1643
1MB Sequential WRITE (MBps) 751 1241 1527

These benchmarks demonstrate the suitability of Pegasus systems for professional video workflows, providing confidence in their ability to meet the demands of media professionals.

Notes:

  • RAID 5 Configuration: Offers a balance between performance, capacity, and redundancy. This setup provides protection against a single drive failure while maintaining good speed.

For maximum performance, it is recommended to:

  1. Use high-quality drives with matching specifications.
  2. Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 connection is utilized for full throughput.
  3. Keep firmware and software up to date.
