On my older Pegasus R4 with 4 TB configured as RAID5, mistaken re-format with Mac Disk utility. Immediately began data recovery scan with Disk Drill, but partition info has not been recovered. are there any options to recover partition?

Any updates to this? Has anyone else encountered this? I think this is what happened to our Promise Pegasus, so trying to figure out the best way to assess if data recovery is possible.

You could try TestDisk, see what it reports.
