Overview

The TrueNAS H30 delivers the comprehensive feature set of TrueNAS Open Enterprise Storage, including High Availability (HA), at an entry-level price point. As the flagship of the H-Series, the H30 features a 20-core controller, 256 GB RAM, and dual 6.4 TB NVMe read cache devices, delivering up to 8 GB/s throughput for the most demanding hybrid workloads.

The H30 supports optional 40/100 GbE networking and 32 Gb Fibre Channel, making it a capable block and file storage platform for media production, virtual machine hosting, and video surveillance in compact environments. 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 and Benefits

The capabilities that make the TrueNAS H30 the highest-performing model in the H-Series lineup for demanding SMB and edge deployments.

Performance and Data Integrity

Scalable Performance & Capacity — 8 GB/s with Dual 6.4 TB NVMe Cache

The TrueNAS H30 combines RAM and dual 6.4 TB NVMe caching with HDDs for cost-effective storage, and supports SAS or NVMe SSDs for up to 8 GB/s uncached throughput — the highest in the H-Series. TrueNAS detects and repairs data corruption and bit rot automatically 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 + 2× 10G Base-T Onboard

Six onboard Ethernet ports — four 1G and two 10G Base-T — provide ample management and data path flexibility out of the box.
02

Up to 40/100 GbE Optional

Optional networking supports up to 4× 10/25 GbE or a combination of 2× 10/25 GbE plus 2× 40/100 GbE for Terabit-class backbone connectivity.
03

2× 32 Gb Fibre Channel

Dual 32 Gb Fibre Channel ports deliver the highest FC bandwidth in the H-Series, enabling low-latency block storage for SAN-attached workloads.
04

Unified File, Block & Object

With support for SMB, NFS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF, and S3-compatible object protocols, the H30 integrates with diverse enterprise applications.

Enterprise Management

High Availability (HA) — Optional Dual Controller

The TrueNAS H30 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 H30 is a 2U NVMe-accelerated hybrid NAS with a 20-core controller, 8 GB/s throughput, TrueCache NVDIMM, and 2× 40/100 GbE on top of 4× 10/25 GbE. The high end of the H-Series.

8 GB/s — the highest in the H-Series, matching the single-controller R20 but with NVMe acceleration that the R20 lacks.

The H30 doubles the H20's CPU (20 cores vs 10), doubles its throughput (8 GB/s vs 4 GB/s), and adds 2× 40/100 GbE on top of the shared 4× 10/25 GbE networking. Same chassis, same NVDIMM cache architecture.

4× 10/25 GbE plus 2× 40/100 GbE — the highest-bandwidth H-Series option, fitting workloads where the H20's 25 GbE ceiling is a constraint.

High-IOPS VM block storage, restore-speed-sensitive backup workloads, mid-market analytics where the M-Series's HA dual-controller overhead is unnecessary but throughput and acceleration matter.
