Your Everpure quote just skyrocketed.
Flash supply is tight and EverPure's all-flash only portfolio means their quotes have ballooned 3–5×. TrueNAS® gives you all-flash and hybrid in one platform — priced for the budget you actually have.

file, block, and object — one platform
Six reasons storage teams choose TrueNAS over Everpure
Economics Matter: Match the Tier to the Workload
Everpure is exclusively all-flash storage. TrueNAS Enterprise gives you all-flash, hybrid, and high-capacity appliances under one platform, so you can put performance dollars where latency is critical and use economical capacity for conventional workloads.
Faster Flash
Everpure relies on higher-latency QLC flash, yet still charges premium storage prices. TrueNAS uses higher-performing, higher-endurance TLC flash for drive capacities below 100TB.
Why pay a premium for slower, lower-endurance flash media?
File, Block, and Object Without Changing Platforms
TrueNAS Enterprise supports NAS, SAN, and object workloads from a single enterprise appliance platform. Use NFS and SMB for file, iSCSI or Fibre Channel for block, and S3-compatible object storage where the workflow calls for it.
Self-Healing Storage Without Proprietary Lock-In
TrueNAS Enterprise is built on OpenZFS, with checksums, snapshots, replication, and self-healing designed into the storage layer. TrueNAS gives customers enterprise protection without trapping their data inside a proprietary storage lifecycle.
Transparent Capacity Planning
Everpure proposals heavily rely on effective capacity and data-reduction assumptions. TrueNAS makes it easier to plan around actual media, workload behavior, and retention needs - especially for backup, media, archive, research, and large file repositories where reduction ratios can vary.
Better Fit for Mixed Data Estates
While TrueNAS delivers better economics for all-flash, for mixed data estates, there is no comparison. TrueNAS hybrid storage is ideal for environments spanning virtualization, backup, media, object, archive, departmental file services, or petabyte-scale repositories.
Economics Matter: Match the Tier to the Workload
While Everpure, formerly known as Pure Storage, is limited to "flash only," TrueNAS lets you allocate flash where you need it and hybrid where you don't. Start one way, add the other as your workload mix shifts — without leaving the platform.
