Maximum NVMe Capacity & Throughput
The TrueNAS F100 is the flagship of the F-Series, designed for the most demanding high-performance NVMe deployments. With 48 cores (96 threads) and up to 8× 100 GbE networking, the F100 delivers the processing power and network bandwidth required for large-scale AI, media production, and high-frequency analytics workloads.
The F100 supports up to 20 PB all-flash capacity with 6 NVMe expansion shelves and 8 SAS expansion shelves, making it the highest-capacity model in the F-Series lineup. Like the F60, it features 512 GB DRAM read cache, 6× 32 Gb Fibre Channel, and the full TrueNAS Enterprise software suite—including inline compression, fast deduplication, and RDMA support—at no additional licensing cost.

Frequently asked questions
The TrueNAS F100 is a 2U all-NVMe flash NAS with 24× NVMe SSD bays, 48 cores, up to 20 PB effective capacity, and optional dual-controller HA. FIPS 140 compliant.
The F100 has 48 cores vs the F60's 32, and scales to 20 PB effective vs F60's 9 PB. Same 2U chassis, same NVMe drive options, same dual-controller HA option, same FIPS 140 / STIG / NIST 800-209 posture.
Yes — dual-controller HA is optional. Configured single-controller out of the gate, with an HA controller added for environments that need automatic failover.
