Vi deler bygget ditt inn i ytelsen du trenger, ytelsen du kjøper, og ytelsen du sannsynligvis bruker til daglig. Når gapet er stort, kjøper du for mye.
UNDERPOWERED — bygget kan slite med den oppgitte arbeidslasten.

Hva dette betyr
En forklarbar fremtidsikkerhetsscore, Homelab Risk Score, en siste kjøpsaudit og hva som blir den begrensende faktoren over tid.
Balansert fremtidsikkerhet
Balanced future-proofing (63/100) — it covers today's workload with some room, but one or two factors will push you to upgrade sooner.
DIY build — the CPU, motherboard and PSU can each be upgraded independently without replacing the whole system.
Expansion headroom: 1 PCIe slot(s), 3 M.2, 3 SATA, 0 drive bay(s), 0 RAM slot(s) free.
Storage is 100% utilized with 0 free drive bay(s) and 3 free SATA port(s).
0 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 93% utilized.
Networking is 1000 Mbps, and a free PCIe slot can add a faster NIC later.
ATX form factor with standard, socketed components — most parts are easy to replace.
A 8GB GPU is present — AI and transcoding workloads are covered.
Moderat risiko
Moderate risk (49/100) — a few items are worth fixing before you commit (see checklist).
Single point of failure
Risiko: highStorage has no redundancy (2 drives, no mirror/parity) — a single drive failure exposes the array.
Løsning: Add at least a mirror (RAID 1/ZFS mirror) for irreplaceable data, or an additional parity drive for larger arrays.
Storage risk
Risiko: medium1 desktop hard drive(s) — not rated for 24/7 duty, vibration or heat; higher long-run failure risk.
Løsning: For an always-on system, prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives; monitor SMART and replace before the warranty ends.
Data loss risk
Risiko: critical2 drive(s), no redundancy, hard-drive media — the worst combination for keeping data safe.
Løsning: Add redundancy and an off-site/off-box backup for anything irreplaceable.
Power risk
Risiko: lowPSU is 600W, peak load 109W (18%).
Løsning: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.
Network risk
Risiko: criticalThe workload wants 2500 Mbps but the config only provides 1000 Mbps.
Løsning: Add a 2.5G NIC or upgrade the platform.
Expansion risk
Risiko: low1 PCIe, 3 M.2, 3 SATA, 0 bays free.
Løsning: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.
Upgrade risk
Risiko: low2022 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.
Audit found 5 critical and 0 warning item(s) worth fixing before you buy.

No storage redundancy
Kritisk2 drive(s) with no mirror or parity for the data you plan to store.
Handling: Add at least a mirror for irreplaceable data before you migrate anything.
Kategori: storage
CPU close to the limit
KritiskThe workload uses 100% of the CPU — little headroom for background tasks or growth.
Handling: Consider a stronger CPU or drop a secondary workload.
Kategori: compute
RAM is nearly exhausted
KritiskThe workload needs 93% of available RAM — swapping will hurt.
Handling: Add more RAM now, while slots are still free.
Kategori: memory
Use NAS-rated drives
OptimaliseringDesktop drives in an always-on NAS/server role have higher long-run failure rates.
Handling: Prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives for 24/7 duty.
Kategori: storage
Plan faster networking
Optimalisering1G networking is fine today but will bottleneck multi-user media or big NAS transfers at 17TB.
Handling: Budget for a 2.5G/10G NIC and switch later, or spec it now.
Kategori: network
Add a UPS
ValgfrittAn always-on server holding data should survive power blips.
Handling: Add an online/line-interactive UPS sized to the build's idle draw.
Kategori: power
Keep a backup off-box
ValgfrittRedundancy 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.
Kategori: storage
PCIe slot available
Fremtid1 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.
Kategori: expansion
RAM is maxed out is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.
RAM is maxed out
Hvorfor: All RAM slots are used and the workload already sits at 93% — the next memory need means replacing kits or a new build.
Hva du skal gjøre: Buy a single larger kit now, or plan the RAM for the full lifecycle.
Storage nearly full
Hvorfor: 100% 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.
CPU is the next bottleneck
Hvorfor: The CPU runs at 100% of capacity — new services or more users will hit the wall first.
Hva du skal gjøre: Consider a stronger CPU within the same socket generation while it is still cheap.
1G networking becomes the ceiling
Hvorfor: A 1000 Mbps link will cap NAS transfers and multi-user media before the CPU or disks do.
Hva du skal gjøre: Add a 2.5G/10G NIC when the switch investment makes sense.
