Features and Benefits

The capabilities that make the TrueNAS H10 an efficient, reliable choice for small and medium business storage.

Performance and Data Integrity

Scalable Performance & Capacity — NVMe Caching at Hybrid Cost

The TrueNAS H10 combines RAM and NVMe caching with HDDs for cost-effective storage, and supports SAS or NVMe SSDs for up to 2 GB/s uncached throughput. TrueNAS detects and repairs data corruption and bit rot automatically to ensure data integrity via the OpenZFS self-healing file system.

Self-Healing Data Protection

TrueNAS detects and repairs data corruption and bit rot automatically to ensure data integrity. OpenZFS checksumming covers every data block end-to-end, from RAM to spinning disk.

Unlimited Snapshots & Replication

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

Connectivity and Protocols

01

4× 1G Base-T Onboard

Four onboard Gigabit ports support LACP link aggregation and active-passive failover for network redundancy without additional hardware.
02

Up to 4× 10/25 GbE Optional

Optional high-speed networking cards scale bandwidth to 10 or 25 GbE for demanding workloads and hypervisor connectivity.
03

2× 16 Gb Fibre Channel

Built-in 16 Gb Fibre Channel ports enable direct SAN connectivity for block storage workloads alongside existing FC fabric infrastructure.
04

Unified File, Block & Object

With support for SMB, NFS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF, and S3-compatible object protocols, the H10 integrates with diverse enterprise applications.

Enterprise Management

High Availability (HA) — Optional Dual Controller

The TrueNAS H10 offers dual-controller configurations to ensure uninterrupted access to critical data during maintenance or hardware failures. Automated rapid failover without data loss, virtual IP address migration, and online software updates keep storage services continuously available.

Intelligent Storage Optimization

TrueNAS uses compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning to maximize efficiency and dynamically adjusts compression based on resource use, reducing data by 2.5× or more.

Enterprise-Grade Efficiency

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

Frequently asked questions

The TrueNAS H10 is a 2U NVMe-accelerated hybrid NAS appliance with a 4-core controller, 2 GB/s throughput, and TrueCache NVDIMM technology. Single-controller architecture, designed for latency-sensitive small-to-midsize workloads.

TrueCache combines DRAM with NAND-backed NVDIMMs for non-volatile cache acceleration. It reduces write latency without the wear-out and durability concerns of a traditional SSD cache, and survives unexpected power loss.

Maximum throughput on the H10 is 2 GB/s — the entry tier of the H-Series. The H20 reaches 4 GB/s, the H30 hits 8 GB/s on the same NVMe-acceleration architecture.

Up to 4× 10/25 GbE. For higher-throughput workloads in the same series, the H30 adds 2× 40/100 GbE on top of the same 4× 10/25 GbE.

No — the H10 is a single-controller appliance. For dual-controller HA in a similar form factor, look at the M-Series.
