Following the highly successful initial release and first update of “Electric Eel” (24.10) the TrueNAS team is excited to announce the availability of the TrueNAS 24.10.2 update, downloadable from truenas.com/truenas-community-edition/ or within your existing TrueNAS system.

TrueNAS 24.10.2 provides over 120 bug fixes and delivers Enterprise quality. It is also the basis for the all-new TrueNAS H30.

With this update, TrueNAS 24.10 “Electric Eel” will become the recommended stable version for our Mission-Critical users, as well as the shipping version of TrueNAS on new Enterprise storage appliances. For recommendations on when to update your system, visit the Software Status page.

The high quality of the predecessor (TrueNAS 24.10.1) is evident in the rapid adoption and its popularity with TrueNAS users. It is easily  the most commonly used TrueNAS version. With over 100,000 early adopters in a 12-week release period, 24.10 is the most popular TrueNAS release ever, and with good reason – it’s packed with several long-anticipated features like:

• Docker Compose for simplified, containerized apps
• RAIDZ Expansion for added flexibility in growing capacity
• Updated WebUI with Global Search to help you get more done with fewer clicks
• Customizable Dashboard Widgets for your most important information at a glance
• NVMe enablement for H-Series for even more capacity and performance options
• Improved Performance for all TrueNAS systems

Electric Eel is a great foundation for building the next TrueNAS release, Fangtooth, which will enter its first BETA in February. Fangtooth will be a unifying release for TrueNAS SCALE and TrueNAS CORE. This version introduces Incus support for LXC containers, further improves flexibility around IP addressing for Apps, and delivers several additional functionality and performance boosts. Further details will be made available before the BETA version.

Refined to Enterprise with Over 120 Improvements

TrueNAS 24.10.2 adds Enterprise quality to the “Electric Eel” release, with over 120 bug fixes and improvements in the update. With this release, we expect many of our Enterprise customers who want to leverage the features to add to the growing numbers.

Major fixes include more robust support for updates with NVIDIA GPUs and fixing compatibility of the SED (disk encryption) utilities for encrypted pool upgrades from CORE to SCALE.

Introducing the TrueNAS H30

Our versatile TrueNAS H-Series is the perfect Edge vehicle for delivering the power of TrueNAS in a compact (2U), power-efficient package, and with SAS/NVMe storage options on all twelve bays.

Designed for the demanding Edge environments, the TrueNAS H30 is the big brother of the H10 and H20, with twice the Cores, RAM, Flash capacity, and performance. As the first TrueNAS appliance with support for 60 TB NVMe drives, the H30 offers up to 720 TB of NVMe storage in 2U for all-flash solutions. With 20 cores and 256 GB of RAM, the new H30 delivers over 8 GB/s and supports a combination of NVMe and HDD pools. More information is available in a separate blog.
