Hello, I've just started a new video job and inherited a Pegasus 2 R4 and a Pegasus 3 R6.

The R4 has one dead drive (a 2TB Toshiba DT01ACA2) and both the R4 and R6 are full to the brim.

I've talked to the IT department at the place that I work and they say that you have to replace it with the same drives and they can't get those drives any more. Is this true?

I found this compatibility list file:///D:/Downloads/Pegasus2%20Compatibility%20List%20v3.4-20181004.pdf and these all seem like pretty old drives so I kinda get where they are coming from.

I need some storage reasonably soon for all the projects starting up this year so I figure my options are:

  1. Try to upgrade the Pegasuses with larger drives that aren't on the compatibility list.
  2. Build a new array of some sort.

Keeping in mind that I'm good with computers but noob with RAID/NAS, what would you fine folks recommend I get?
