74/100

Strong future-proofing (74/100) — this build should stay relevant for years without major surgery.

Upgrade path75

DIY build — the CPU, motherboard and PSU can each be upgraded independently without replacing the whole system.

Expansion64

Expansion headroom: 2 PCIe slot(s), 1 M.2, 2 SATA, 0 drive bay(s), 2 RAM slot(s) free.

Storage growth70

Storage is 88% utilized with 0 free drive bay(s) and 2 free SATA port(s).

Memory growth75

2 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 75% utilized.

Networking80

Networking is 2500 Mbps, and a free PCIe slot can add a faster NIC later.

Replacement ease90

ATX form factor with standard, socketed components — most parts are easy to replace.

Workload change65

A 6GB GPU is present — AI and transcoding workloads are covered.

Homelab Risk Score

Lav risiko

10/100

Low risk (10/100) — sensible redundancy and headroom; no single point of failure is exposed.

low

Single point of failure

Storage has redundancy (mirror) — a single drive failure does not take the array down.Løsning: Continue a 3-2-1 backup strategy; redundancy is not a backup.

low

Storage risk

2 NAS-rated hard drive(s) — rated for 24/7 operation.Løsning: Keep drives cool and monitor SMART health.

low

Data loss risk

Redundancy protects against drive failure, though it is not a substitute for backups.Løsning: Follow a 3-2-1 backup rule: at least one copy off the box.

low

Power risk

PSU is 650W, peak load 240W (37%).Løsning: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.

low

Network risk

Single 2500 Mbps NIC — a switch/port failure takes the box fully offline, and multi-user media can saturate 2500 Mbps.Løsning: Consider a second NIC or a managed switch; for heavy media, plan for 2.5/10G before the build.

low

Expansion risk

2 PCIe, 1 M.2, 2 SATA, 0 bays free.Løsning: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.

low

Upgrade risk

2026 platform — current generation with a forward-looking socket/feature set.Løsning: Buy for the workload, not the socket — upgrade paths are a bonus, not a guarantee.

Siste bygg-audit

Audit passed (0 critical, 0 warning) — mostly optional and future considerations remain.

2 Valgfritt2 Fremtid

Valgfritt

Add a UPS

An always-on server holding data should survive power blips.Handling: Add a line-interactive UPS sized for the build's peak draw (≥ 10 min at typical load for a clean shutdown).power

Valgfritt

Keep a backup off-box

Redundancy inside the box does not survive fire, theft or a whole-array fault.Handling: Mirror the important data to an external drive, a second box, or cloud.storage

Fremtid

RAM expansion available

2 RAM slot(s) free for a later upgrade.Handling: Leave them free until the workload actually grows.memory

Fremtid

PCIe slot available

2 free PCIe slot(s) for a NIC, HBA or GPU later.Handling: Use it for a 10G NIC, extra HBA, or an accelerator when the need appears.expansion

Hva som blir grensen

Storage nearly full is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.

1-2y

Storage nearly full

Hvorfor: 88% of raw capacity is already in use — media libraries and backups grow fast.Hva du skal gjøre: Expanding is easy: add a drive to the free bays/ports.
