Dividimos o teu build no desempenho de que precisas, o que compras e o que provavelmente usarás no dia a dia. Quando a diferença é grande, estás a comprar demais.

O que significa
Uma pontuação de prova de futuro explicável, o Homelab Risk Score, uma auditoria final antes de comprar e o que se tornará o fator limitante ao longo do tempo.
Prova de futuro forte
Strong future-proofing (83/100) — this build should stay relevant for years without major surgery.
DIY build — the CPU, motherboard and PSU can each be upgraded independently without replacing the whole system.
Expansion headroom: 2 PCIe slot(s), 4 M.2, 5 SATA, 0 drive bay(s), 2 RAM slot(s) free.
Storage is 50% utilized with 0 free drive bay(s) and 5 free SATA port(s).
2 RAM slot(s) free; memory is 100% utilized.
Networking is 2500 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.
No GPU, but there is room (2 PCIe slot(s), PSU headroom 10x) to add one for AI/transcoding.
Risco moderado
Moderate risk (46/100) — a few items are worth fixing before you commit (see checklist).
Single point of failure
Risco: criticalAll data sits on a single drive with no redundancy — one failure means total loss.
Solução: Add at least a mirror (RAID 1/ZFS mirror) for irreplaceable data, or an additional parity drive for larger arrays.
Storage risk
Risco: medium1 desktop hard drive(s) — not rated for 24/7 duty, vibration or heat; higher long-run failure risk.
Solução: For an always-on system, prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives; monitor SMART and replace before the warranty ends.
Data loss risk
Risco: critical1 drive(s), no redundancy, hard-drive media — the worst combination for keeping data safe.
Solução: Add redundancy and an off-site/off-box backup for anything irreplaceable.
Power risk
Risco: lowPSU is 600W, peak load 60W (10%).
Solução: PSU sizing leaves healthy headroom for spikes and future parts.
Network risk
Risco: lowSingle 2500 Mbps NIC — a switch/port failure takes the box fully offline, and multi-user media can saturate 2500 Mbps.
Solução: Consider a second NIC or a managed switch; for heavy media, plan for 2.5/10G before the build.
Expansion risk
Risco: low2 PCIe, 4 M.2, 5 SATA, 0 bays free.
Solução: Healthy room for future drives, NICs and accelerators.
Upgrade risk
Risco: low2024 platform — current generation with a forward-looking socket/feature set.
Solução: Buy for the workload, not the socket — upgrade paths are a bonus, not a guarantee.
Audit found 3 critical and 0 warning item(s) worth fixing before you buy.

CríticoThis build may struggle with the stated workload.
Ação: Reconsider the config for the stated workload or budget before buying.
Categoria: balance
No storage redundancy
Crítico1 drive(s) with no mirror or parity for the data you plan to store.
Ação: Add at least a mirror for irreplaceable data before you migrate anything.
Categoria: storage
RAM is nearly exhausted
CríticoThe workload needs 100% of available RAM — swapping will hurt.
Ação: Add more RAM now, while slots are still free.
Categoria: memory
Use NAS-rated drives
OtimizaçãoDesktop drives in an always-on NAS/server role have higher long-run failure rates.
Ação: Prefer NAS/CMR-rated drives for 24/7 duty.
Categoria: storage
Add a UPS
OpcionalAn always-on server holding data should survive power blips.
Ação: Add an online/line-interactive UPS sized to the build's idle draw.
Categoria: power
Keep a backup off-box
OpcionalRedundancy inside the box does not survive fire, theft or a whole-array fault.
Ação: Mirror the important data to an external drive, a second box, or cloud.
Categoria: storage
RAM expansion available
Futuro2 RAM slot(s) free for a later upgrade.
Ação: Leave them free until the workload actually grows.
Categoria: memory
PCIe slot available
Futuro2 free PCIe slot(s) for a NIC, HBA or GPU later.
Ação: Use it for a 10G NIC, extra HBA, or an accelerator when the need appears.
Categoria: expansion
RAM is tight is the most likely thing to date this build within 1-2y.
RAM is tight
Porquê: Memory is 100% utilized — a growing workload will hit the ceiling quickly.
O que fazer: Add the remaining RAM before prices change, while slots are free.
Storage growing
Porquê: 50% of capacity in use — comfortable today, tighter over a few years.
O que fazer: Plan the growth curve; keep at least one bay free for the next drive.
RAM is the closest to its limit (100% of capacity in use) — it will likely force the next upgrade.
