Superb storage capacity and speed!

You kinda can’t beat the cost per TB of this array… There are cheaper options, but not by much and as a pre-configured, tested, and ready-to-go RAID… this is a great configuration. I’m using it as RAID5, formatted for APFS and connected to my Mac via Thunderbolt 3 (its only interface). Write speeds of (on avg) 1400MB/s and read speeds of (on avg) 930MB/s (tested with BlackMagic’s Disk Speed Test @ 2GB stress level). If there’s a downside, it’s the fan noise… but it’s not terrible. Made a little bit more problematic by the shorter cable they include. If you’re going to buy a longer (2m) Thunderbolt3 cable, make sure it’s an “Active” cable vs a “Passive” cable. Active will be more than twice as much, but I think worth it in the long run to keep the full speed possible if you every want to add devices down the chain.

Well Worth Every Penny

The hard drive came as described in the listing, on time, and works great. Once set up, this hard drive does all the work. Cannot recommend enough.

Fast Just Got Faster
Pegasus3 with Thunderbolt 3 technology delivers incredible speed and performance for HD and 4K video editing and creative workflow with ease of use and performance optimization.

Performance meets protection
HD or 4K (Ultra-HD) workflow environments create enormous amounts of content.

Pegasus3 combines lightning fast speed and advanced RAID protection to ensure your work is safe and secure.

The perfect complement to the all-new MacBook Pro
The amazing all-new MacBook Pro from Apple deserves the finest Thunderbolt 3 RAID available.
