question

what is the difference between mac & pc edition?
Asked by: Rajiv
I had received the MAC edition for my PC, but doesn't make a difference, once you download the correct drivers and install, plug in the tower and go from there. Make sure you have the updated Thunderbolt Drivers for your Mobo or the Pegasus might not turn on.

question

Can you share the drive bay connecting it to two separate computers through the two thunderbolt 3 ports?
Asked by: Anonymous
NO. Thunderbolt does not enable concurrent shared access by multiple computers. It is like firewire. You can set up a 10GBps Ethernet or fibre channel network and share the Thunderbolt 3 unit through a server. There are other products with Thunderbolt 3 and simultaneous 10Gbps network ability, but you must have a 10gpbs network.
