Tri-mode SAS/NVMe enterprise storage with 400 GbE networking and 60 GB/s system bandwidth.

Powerful Enterprise Storage

The TrueNAS V160 is engineered for organizations that demand fewer constraints and more simplicity. Designed to support a wide range of workloads—hybrid or flash, big or small—the V-Series integrates seamlessly into any environment without the friction of a sharp learning curve. By consolidating storage choices into a single tri-mode platform, users can easily map their bandwidth and deployment needs to a high-performance system that delivers enterprise flexibility in a familiar, customer-friendly package.

This next-generation platform features 24 front-loading tri-mode bays supporting SAS and Gen4 NVMe drives, alongside four rear Gen5 NVMe bays for high-velocity data caching. With support for up to 20 PB of NVMe storage and high-speed fabrics up to 400 GbE, the V-Series provides massive scalability and extreme network velocity. Dual controllers with automated rapid failover ensure high availability, maintaining uninterrupted operations for mission-critical data.

Efficiency is built into the TrueNAS Enterprise suite, which includes advanced data management tools like fast deduplication, inline compression, and RDMA support. These features, combined with snapshots and replication, come standard to reduce management costs and optimize performance. The V-Series “just fits,” offering a versatile, frictionless platform that adapts to changing workloads while providing the robust, high-performance storage required for modern enterprise environments.
