This Veeam Ready test was performed with storage having a configuration that includes SSD/Flash. As such, this classification only applies to similar configurations in which the same amount or more SSD drives are used. The use of non-SSD drives may negatively impact performance.
SMB write-through is supported on this platform and was used in the Veeam Ready testing. Continuous availability must be enabled for SMB share at the time of creation as it cannot be configured retrospectively. For more details about continuous availability read more at KB3124
Product Details
Model number: TrueNAS F60
Storage Category: Software Defined Storage - Hybrid
Drive quantity, size, type: 4 x 3.49 TiB Gen4 NVMe SSD (iXTPON4DCBD3T8R1)
Storage configuration: Single pool composed of two ZFS mirrored vdevs. Data is striped across vdevs, while each vdev gets redundancy from the mirror
Firmware version: 24.10
Connection protocol and speed: SMB/CIFS, 100 GbE
Additional support: All models and configurations of TrueNAS F-Series with specifications equivalent or greater than the above
General product family overview:
TrueNAS is an Open Source storage operating system built on OpenZFS. The F-Series is a 2U system with dual controllers. Each controller has direct, low-latency access to the NVMe drives, and uses a dedicated high-bandwidth interconnect between controllers for synchronization and high-availability.

Veeam Testing Configuration
Veeam Build Number: 12.2.0.334
Vendor recommended configuration
Vendor Settings:
- Caching used: Yes
- Read/write caching: Read caching is provided through ZFS ARC which exists in system memory. Reads are cached in RAM before being written to SSDs
- Does vendor solution support SMB write-through? Yes
- How SMB write-through enabled/disabled? Access the Datasets page and select the dataset being used for the SMB share. Select Edit and then modify the Sync setting.
- Was SMB write-through enabled during the testing? Yes
- Multipathing / link aggregation used: No
- Array deduplication used in testing: No
- Array compression used in testing: Yes
