On the front of the R6, in addition to standard power button and status lights, you'll find the six drive bays. We connected two Pegasus R6 units together in our testing and they indeed suffered no drop-off in performance. With the other port, you can daisy-chain up to five other Thunderbolt devices, or a Mini DisplayPort monitor, without reducing the connection bandwidth, per the Thunderbolt standard. You can use one of these ports to connect the drive to the host computer using a Thunderbolt cable, which unfortunately is not included and costs another $49. On the back, the R6 has a standard power connection port similar to that of a desktop computer, a big ventilation fan for the hard drives, another smaller vent for the built-in power supply, and two Thunderbolt ports.
Nonetheless, like all devices made to work with Macs, the device manages to remain visually appealing, with an all-aluminum chassis. The Pegasus is about the size you'd expect a storage device that hosts six 3.5-inch internal hard drives to be: it's very large.
