Promise Pegasus r6 Physical Disk is marked as DEAD due to forced offline state
I had this on two of my drives around 24 hours of first unboxing - so far I am fidning it hard (and slow) to get a satisfactory answer from Promise as to what caused this other than the suggestion from support that "the controller forces a going to be defective drive offline to prevent any further issues".
I am trying to work out whether to return the system and invest in something else, because after this failure I googled around and found quite a comments from people having problems with Pegasus RAIDs and many, like me, being unimpressed with their support.
There are of course two side to every argument so I am really just trying to see if others have had this problem, if so, what they did about it? I am still waiting for a response from support, having sent them the relevant system reports, to see if I lost any data. I do have backups but I want to be able to trust the system.
All thoughts and experiences gratefully recieved!
