I just upgraded to Sierra and now I kernel panic (stack trace right back to the promise pegausus J4 driver) when I book if the J4 is connected.
I have seen responses to El Cap questions just brushing this off as an EOL product, but it's only 3 years old! Not to mention, it wasn't cheap.
I'm hoping that there is some chance someone either plans to fix the driver or knows a workaround.
Hi, I have been running this driver about since High Sierra was released and had no problems (knock on wood). I would of course not vouch for others...
Has anyone tried this driver on High Sierra? I'm considering updating but don't want to lose the ability to use the J4! Love this thing!
I recently tried my Promise Pegasus J4 w/ my Macbook Pro Retina mid-2012 with Sierra 10.12.2 - same thing as many others - kernel crash.
I installed the `J4_MacDrv_V1.0.44_1012.pkg` driver posted in this thread, let it reboot, and it's working like a champ now!
Thanks!
It seems that by reinstalling the driver after updating to macOS Sierra 10.12.1 works...so far! If you are updating, just be aware that you'll have to reinstall the new driver. Otherwise, DO NOT UPDATE unless you really really need to. (Turning off automatic updates from here on out.)
Oh no! I haven't updated yet.
did you try reinstalling the new driver?
Hmmm did not try that. I can see if it will help.

Hello agin and thank you for fixing this! At least on first quick impression it looks like the Pegasus J4 RAID 0 is back and working alright on my iMac 5K Retina (27in, late 2015) with the driver you released.
Just upgraded to the latest macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (stupid me). It worked fine w/ the previous version of Sierra, but seems like the problem is back with this update. PLEASE HALP!

The drivers worked for me on both of my machines too. Thank you!
The drivers worked on Sierra. Thank you.
The drivers worked on Sierra. Thank you.
Installed the driver on El Capitan and it no errors. J4 is working smoothly. Will try to install Sierra tonight to see if this also solve the Sierra problems.
Thank you for the update.

Thank you all of your valuable input on this incompatibility problem of the legacy Promise J4 product with the latest Mac OS Sierra.
Promise's engineers already nailed down the root cause and put a fix on it. The patch is being verified and tested. Final fix should be available for public very soon. Please give them a little bit time to complete the test before releasing.
One more to the J4 crashing a Mac mini...
Maybe while the team are sorting out the issue here they could make this thing bootable too!
Same here on a iMac 5k late 2014 ...
