Overview

The TrueNAS R60 pushes the boundaries of the R-Series by introducing next-generation performance for the most demanding modern workloads. Built with PCIe Gen5 capabilities and DDR5 RAM, the R60 is the first platform in the R-Series to leverage Terabit Ethernet technology, supporting speeds up to 400 GbE.

This all-flash powerhouse is engineered to deliver up to 60 GB/s of throughput with ultra-low latency, providing a high-performance foundation for AI, data science, and high-resolution video production while maintaining the series' signature focus on density and value. With up to 4 expansion shelves and 60 total NVMe drives, the R60 scales to 7 PB raw and 14 PB effective capacity.

Features and Benefits

The capabilities that make the TrueNAS R60 the next-generation all-flash platform in the R-Series — PCIe Gen5, Terabit Ethernet, and 60 GB/s throughput for AI, data science, and video production.

Next-Generation All-Flash Performance

PCIe Gen5, DDR5, Terabit Ethernet — 60 GB/s All-Flash Storage

The TrueNAS R60 is the first R-Series platform built with PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 RAM, delivering up to 60 GB/s of throughput with ultra-low latency. Supporting Terabit Ethernet at speeds up to 400 GbE, the R60 provides a high-performance foundation for AI inference, data science pipelines, and high-resolution video production workflows that demand both extreme throughput and low latency.

12× NVMe All-Flash Architecture

Twelve dedicated NVMe drive bays eliminate spinning disk entirely, delivering consistent ultra-low latency and high IOPS for AI, analytics, and real-time media workflows that cannot tolerate HDD seek times.

Advanced Data Protection

Features self-healing OpenZFS file system with copy-on-write, automatic bit-rot detection, built-in RAID protection, unlimited snapshots, and resilient replication to safeguard data integrity at all-flash speeds.

Terabit-Class Networking

2× 400 GbE

Dual 400 GbE ports deliver the highest per-port bandwidth in the R-Series — enabling 800 Gb/s aggregate throughput for GPU cluster interconnects and AI data pipelines.

4× 25/100/200 GbE Alternative

An alternative four-port configuration at 25, 100, or 200 GbE provides flexibility for existing 100/200 GbE switching infrastructure while maximizing port-count for multi-host connectivity.

2× 1GBase-T Management

Dedicated out-of-band 1G management ports keep data and management traffic separated for security and operational clarity.

Flexible Integration

Compatible with major virtualization hypervisors and backup software, and offers a fully-featured REST API. S3-compliant object storage using MinIO AIStor enables scale-out cluster deployments.

Scalable All-Flash Architecture

1U–17U Scalable Chassis — 7 PB Raw in a Single Namespace

The TrueNAS R60 scales from a compact 1U head unit to a 17U fully-expanded configuration with up to 4 expansion shelves and 60 total NVMe drives, delivering 7 PB raw and 14 PB effective capacity. The scalable chassis maintains all-flash performance characteristics at every expansion tier — no spinning disk compromise as you grow.

Cost-Effective Performance

The R60 optimizes per-dollar performance and scalability, delivering enterprise-grade all-flash storage solutions without compromising on quality or breaking the budget — the R-Series' signature value proposition applied to next-generation hardware.

TrueSecure Security

FIPS 140 for data-at-rest and data-in-flight, NIST 800-209, GP-OS STIG, KMIP key management, and encrypted drives and datasets protect all data stored on the R60's NVMe pool end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

The TrueNAS R60 is an all-NVMe single-controller rackmount NAS with 12 bays, 60 GB/s throughput, up to 7 PB raw capacity, and 2× 400 GbE networking. Runs TrueNAS Enterprise + OpenZFS.

60 GB/s — the highest in the single-controller R-Series, matching the V-Series ceiling but at a single-controller price point.

The R60 is single-controller; the V160 is hyperconverged with optional dual-controller HA. Both hit 60 GB/s and 400 GbE. Pick R60 for cost, V160 for HA and scale-out.

2× 400 GbE or 4× 25/100/200 GbE — built for NVMe-oF over RDMA workloads.

AI/ML inference datasets, scale-out lakehouse nodes, post-production shared NVMe, and any workload where single-controller is acceptable but high IOPS and bandwidth are required.
