The Pegasus2 R2+ hardware driver and PROMISE Utility software for Windows can be used
on computers equipped with a Thunderbolt™ port running any edition of Windows 7 or Windows
8.
Alternatively, you can use the USB 3.0 port to access, create and use a RAID 1 or RAID 0
configuration on the 3.5” hard disk drives. The USB 3.0 connection cannot be used at the same
time as the Thunderbolt connection.

Pegaus2 R2+ is shipped with a hardware RAID that can be used on a Windows computer. But the
RAID 0 drive needs to be partitioned and formatted with a file system (NTFS) usable in Windows. Install
the driver and software on the Windows system, then partition the RAID drive, or change the RAID and
partition it using the PROMISE Utility software designed for managing and monitoring the device.
