I have a Pegasus 2 R8 that I am trying to get data from. It disconnects consistently and has very slow copying that eventually bombs out - randomly reboots the whole machine.
- Started with a Mac Mini M1 - had Sonoma as the OS - I was able to copy from it and write data to it without any problem. I updated the OS to Sequoia and that is when the problems started.
- I updated the firmware to the most current.
- I installed the Mac Silicon driver
- I uninstalled the Mac Silicon driver and installed the standard Dext Driver.
- I have gone back to the previous OS Sonoma and used the Promise Utility to make sure that the device or raid array didn't have any issues. (unit passes all tests)
- I bought an old mac mini (intel chip) with monterey on it thinking I can use the old driver - but no luck.
Here is my question - what am I missing. Is there a utility that can tell me what is wrong. Can anybody advise?
Is the firmware causing the problem? Is there a firmware I should use for Monterey. Or is there a specific version of Mac Os and firmware combo that is the perfect set.
