TrueNAS H-Series TrueNAS H-Series · Versatility and Power Efficiency

TrueNAS H-Series

Enterprise HA storage at an accessible price point. Three models with optional dual-controller failover, hybrid or all-flash configurations, NVMe support in every bay, and unified file, block, and object storage — scaling from 2 GB/s up to 8 GB/s throughput and 3 PB raw capacity.

Powerful & Efficient Performance

The TrueNAS H-Series delivers the comprehensive feature set of TrueNAS Open Enterprise Storage, including High Availability (HA), at an entry-level price point. Designed for small and medium businesses, the H-Series offers optional dual controllers, hybrid or all-flash configurations, NVMe support in every bay for low-latency workloads, and unified file, block, and object storage across three models: H10, H20, and H30.

This flexibility allows organizations to scale performance and reliability in a compact footprint, making it suitable for IT environments and Edge deployments. The simplified web-based interface and robust feature set, coupled with the absence of additional licensing costs, make the H-Series an accessible yet powerful option for growing businesses.

The modular architecture of the H-Series supports hybrid flash and disk storage pools, conserving power, space, and cooling while handling diverse workloads such as media storage, virtual machine hosting, and video surveillance. Optional HA ensures uninterrupted storage services during maintenance or upgrades, while Intelligent Storage Optimization reduces data by 2.5× or more for maximum efficiency.

Features & Benefits

Enterprise capabilities at an accessible price point.

Performance & Reliability

Scalable Performance & Capacity

The TrueNAS H-Series combines RAM and NVMe caching with HDDs for cost-effective storage, and supports SAS or NVMe SSDs for up to 8 GB/s uncached throughput. NVMe support in every bay enables low-latency workloads without upgrading to a higher-cost platform.

High Availability (HA)

The TrueNAS H-Series offers dual-controller configurations to ensure uninterrupted access to critical data during maintenance or hardware failures, with automated rapid failover without data loss.

Self-Healing Data Protection

TrueNAS detects and repairs data corruption and bit rot automatically to ensure data integrity. The OpenZFS self-healing file system corrects in-flight corruption before it reaches the disk.

Storage Efficiency & Management

01

Intelligent Storage Optimization

TrueNAS uses compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning to maximize efficiency and dynamically adjusts compression based on resource use—achieving 2.5× or more data reduction.
02

Unlimited Snapshots & Replication

TrueNAS offers unlimited snapshots and replication without extra licensing, with built-in ransomware protection and seamless integration with VMware.
03

Unified Storage Protocols

With support for file (SMB, NFS, FTP), block (iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF), and S3-compatible object protocols, enabling seamless integration with diverse enterprise applications and workflows.
04

Enterprise-Grade Efficiency

Advanced features like data reduction, snapshots, and replication come standard, reducing costs and simplifying data management without additional licensing fees.
