“Compression saves space, but it costs performance.” That used to be true. It’s why plenty of admins still leave it off by default, or only turn it on for cold archive data where nobody will notice the tax. That math made sense when CPU was scarce and every cycle mattered. It doesn’t hold anymore. ZFS […] The post Compression that Pays You Back appeared first on TrueNAS - Open Enterprise Storage.
“Add more RAM” is the right answer to a slow storage system more often than not; but it’s also not always the answer you get to give. Budget caps it. Technical limitations of your motherboard cap it. Consolidating more workloads onto fewer nodes caps it hardest of all. At some point you’re running a working […] The post When RAM Runs Out: Making L2ARC Work on TrueNAS appeared first on TrueNAS - Op…

TrueNAS Connect is TrueNAS’s browser-based management service — it lets you deploy, monitor, and update TrueNAS systems from one dashboard instead of logging into each one separately. Eight months after launch, TrueNAS Connect is on its way to a three-tier structure: Foundation is completely free and covers up to 2 systems, with a web-based installer […] The post TrueNAS Connect July 2026 Improvem…
The all-flash default made sense for a while. NVMe prices dropped fast enough that overprovisioning felt responsible. Why spend time designing careful storage tiers when flash was cheap enough to ignore the question? That logic expired somewhere around late 2025, when NAND supply constraints pushed flash prices significantly higher. Renewal quotes that looked reasonable 18 […] The post Disk Isn’t…
We recently launched TrueNAS 26 BETA.1, marking the first step towards our new annual release cadence. This shift replaces our previous twice-yearly software release schedule, and is designed to provide better quality, more predictable planning, and a clear path toward a 3-year Long-Term Support (LTS) release for our TrueNAS Enterprise customers. Today, we’re excited to […] The post TrueNAS 26 BET…
The full V-Series platform, sized for the workloads most teams actually run. There’s a version of every storage refresh that ends with a system bigger and faster than the workload ever needed, plus a support contract to match. The headroom looks great on the spec sheet, and it’s worth buying when the workload demands it. […] The post Introducing the TrueNAS V140 appeared first on TrueNAS - Open En…
Ransomware rarely starts at the storage layer. It begins with a credential leak, a phished endpoint, or an unpatched service. But for the enterprise, the financial and operational impact is decided in the first few hours of recovery, where leadership needs to answer three questions: How much data is truly lost? (RPO) How fast can […] The post Ransomware Detection and Rapid Recovery at the Data Lay…

Enterprise IT teams have been conditioned to accept tradeoffs: performance or cost, flash economics or HDD cost per terabyte, mission-critical resilience or data freedom. Most of these aren’t technical constraints. They’re decisions vendors force you to make. TrueNAS is built differently than legacy vendors – it’s built on the premise that the right platform gives […] The post Introducing TrueNAS…
