I have a new Pegasus 3 24TB drive, and a new Macbook Pro. Sometimes depsite being on, the Pegasus is not seen on Finder. When that happens, I also cannot swith the Pegasus off by depressing the button on the Pegasus. The only way to get the Mac to see the Pegasus, is to unplug the Pegasus' power cord, and then plug it back to restart. I run High Sierra on the Mac.

 

Normally, if I press the button on the Pegasus, it goes red and then switches off.

Hi Pieter,

Does it have any specific pattern? Does it happen when you try to copy large files? Have you tried connecting this unit to a different computer to see if the issue follow? Have you tried with a known working thunderbolt cable?

This still happens to me all the time. There is no pattern. I've got a Prmoise Pegaus 3 as well as an older Promise Pegaus. The older on is daisy-chained to the 3. My Macbook will continue to see the older one, but the 3 just drops out, and even a restart of the Mac won't fix it. The onlu solution as said above, is to unplug the power cable and replug it.

 

Frustrating!!!!

I installed the new firmware via the app menu system, but the driver installation still crashes my Mac every time I try and run that. I downloaded the lastest of them all from the downlaod website.
