Hi -
We have a mac mini server running a Pegasus 2 (R4). Can we daisy chain a second Pegasus 2 (R8) to the system and have the mac mini server (and network users) recognize the new RAID as a seperate volume?
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Yes, that's right. They will be recognized as 2 separate external drives.
Thanks, Joe.
Can they appear on the network that way? As seperate servers?
You can share the drive over your LAN using the Macintosh inbuilt File Sharing feature.
We do need it to function as server – set permissions for users, etc. Has anyone done this? 2 RAIDS with one Mac server?
Hi Mike,
Each Thunderbolt port on a Mac can support up to 6 Thunderbolt devices.
So you could daisychain up to 6 Pegasus units off a Thunderbolt port and macOS will see 6 drives.
Each of them will be capable of being used in exactly the same fashion such as setting user access...

Great – thanks everyone. The point it was getting confusuing for me was setiing up the 2nd Pegasus unit as its own server and managing users and backups for it seperate from our existing Pegasus.
