I heard back from Promise support today:
Request:- 4th January 2013 at 6:54
Hi I have a Pegasus J4 (without drives). I'm running it under OSX Mountain Lion, with Samsung 840 SSDs; it shows up and works excellently. When I use Bootcamp, the J4 doesn't show up in Windows. In Device manager, it shows a problem with a driver?? What driver would I use to make this show up in bootcamp? I'm using Windows 7 64bit. I have a Seagate Thunderbolt GoFlex that shows up just fine under Bootcamp/Windows.
Help??

Hi Leslie,
Thank you for choosing our solutions for your storage needs.
We are sorry to inform you that Pegasus J4 is not compatible with Windows operating system. The product is just launched so we may expect some windows driver updates for Pegasus J4. However, we do not have a ETA on this.
Thanks and Regards

So it looks "promising" for a Windows driver
Anyway, you'd think that Promise would want some of that Windoze market and would develop a driver. There are some similar but apparently not the correct drivers on Intel's website. Here's hoping.
Drobo Mini TB enclosure, no disks = $610+ it does offer USB 3.0. Some love this thing. There appear to be some issues with it: limited SSD brands supported; noisy fan; Windows not supported yet... YMMV, that's what I'm seeing in reviews.
Pegasus J4, no disks = $387.00 No windows boot at this time; other than that, it's a pistol.
As far as swapping drives... I'm not going to be moving it around, I'd probably just use velcro to secure the lid; the drives plug in so securely I'm not sure I'd even use the screws... I didn't during testing... so switching drives isn't THAT painful. BUT, the Drobo would definitely be easier to swap.
