TrueNAS CORE Vs TrueNAS SCALE

Its a useful question.

For the Community… SCALE is about the same number of users as CORE 13.0. It will be larger in Q3.

For the Enterprise: Most mature product users are on 13.x still. X-Series, M-Series. We are only recommending migration for these if there are specific features needed. This will change with 24.4.2 and 24.04.3 There are now equivalent stability, extra performance and extra security. To make this switch, there are a few minutes of downtime, so we don’t make the switch without planning it.

For new products: F-Series, H-Series, they are all on the 24.04 version.

So, in terms of new deployments for Enterprise customers it will be about 50/50 in 2H 2024.

I’d expect the crossover in terms of total volume of Enterprise users in 2025.
