I just had my Promise Technology Pegasus J4 lose all power. It was working fine as I was editing a long format documentary in PPCC, and without warning it no longer turns on.
I tried plugging into different outlets, nothing. Fortunately I have most of my work backed up.

But what 4TB 7200rpm hard drive could anyone suggest that would be more reliable than the Pegasus J4???

Western digital re4 4TB. At the risk of jinxing myself the enterprise drives seem to work the best for me.
 
Thanks for replying Marino. I never had any problems with western digital I don't believe there's anything wrong with the Pegasus J4 hard drives though.
It would appear to be a power issue. Perhaps the fan is dead, not sure.
 
The Pagasus J4 isn't a hard drive, it's an enclosure. Are you looking to replace that, or the actual hard drives inside?

I typically edit on internal drive arrays. However, that being said I've never had problems with Western Digital (Black Edition) drives. They are their enterprise qualified drives and typically have a higher MTBF.
