You click the button. TrueNAS builds the disks. Proxmox VE has become one of the default landing spots for teams leaving VMware, and TrueNAS is already a common storage layer underneath those clusters. Most of those deployments run today on NFS or hand-cut iSCSI LUNs, and both are legitimate, well-worn ways to connect the two […] The post TrueNAS Proxmox Plugin: Open Storage for your Open Hypervis…
TLC (Triple-Level Cell) and QLC (Quad-Level Cell) are the two NAND flash types behind most enterprise SSDs today. TLC stores 3 bits per cell, QLC stores 4. The extra bit gives QLC roughly a third more density per wafer, and typically twice the density per SSD, at the cost of random write speed and total […] The post TLC vs. QLC Flash Storage: How OpenZFS Optimizes all the Options appeared first on…
Run a TrueNAS pool long enough, and someone will warn you: stay under 80% full. The “80% rule” for capacity is like a ghost story of ZFS storage administration. Everyone has heard of it, but ask a room of admins why it exists, and the answers get vague fast. It gets passed around like hearsay: […] The post The ZFS 80% Rule: Why It Exists, and When You Can Bend It appeared first on TrueNAS - Open E…
Patch notes are supposed to be boring. A short list of CVEs, a version bump, nothing to see here. That stopped being true the moment AI models got better at finding vulnerabilities than most people are at writing proof-of-concepts for them. TL;DR: TrueNAS 25.10.5 shipped last month with a normal batch of kernel CVE fixes. […] The post TrueNAS 25.10.6: Resolving a Truckload of CVEs appeared first o…
When one of the world’s largest grocery retailers moves to migrate 40,000 server workloads off its hypervisor stack while suing its software vendor for more than £100 million, enterprise IT takes notice. According to Tesco’s High Court filing, the retailer purchased perpetual licenses for VMware vSphere Foundation and Cloud Foundation in January 2021, with support […] The post Lessons from the VMw…

“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 25.10.4 is now the most popular version of TrueNAS and has reached General and Mission-critical status. TrueNAS 25.10.5 patches eight kernel CVEs (including two local privilege escalations) and fixes six production bugs spanning backup, monitoring, and access control. It's the fifth point release in the 25.10 line since October 2025, and 25.10 is now running on more systems than any other…

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…

Here’s what kept coming up, over and over. “We’ve outgrown our current setup.” […] The post What We Heard at NAB 2026…

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…
