Overview
The TrueNAS M60 is the flagship of the M-Series, delivering enterprise storage solutions with unparalleled performance and reliability for mission-critical operations at massive scale. With a 32-core controller, up to 1.5 TB of system memory across the series, and 12.8 TB of NVMe read cache backed by dual TrueCache® NVDIMM write caching, the M60 supports up to 30 PB of unified file, block, and S3-compliant object storage.
Designed with high-availability in mind, the M60 seamlessly integrates open-source economics with enterprise-grade hardware. With networking capabilities including four 100 GbE ports per controller and four 32 Gb FC ports, the M60 is adept at handling the most intensive IT workloads — from large-scale virtualization and media production to high-speed file sharing and backup operations running around the clock.

Frequently asked questions
The TrueNAS M60 is a 4U dual-controller HA hybrid NAS with a 32-core controller, up to 30 PB capacity, NVMe cache, and 4× 100 GbE networking. The top of the M-Series HA hybrid line.
Up to 30 PB — the largest in the M-Series, 3× the M50's 10 PB ceiling. Designed for organizations that need HA hybrid economics at petabyte scale.
4× 100 GbE — exclusive to the M60 in the M-Series. The M50 caps at 2× 10/25/40/100 GbE. The 4-port configuration is built for many concurrent client streams.
The M60 is HA hybrid with HDDs and NVMe cache; the F100 is all-NVMe flash with the same dual-controller HA option. F100 wins on IOPS density; M60 wins on per-TB cost at hyperscale capacities.
Hyperscale HA hybrid: enterprise file shares with petabyte capacities, large backup repositories with multi-year retention, datasets too cost-prohibitive for all-flash but where HA failover is mandatory.
