I’d consolidate to let it pay for itself over the longer term in electricity savings.

My single NAS runs everything I could ever want, though I regret not finding a used 6700k, finding out teh 6600k didn’t have HT.

Also, I run frigate on it inside a container and use a Google Coral Accellerator to people-detection from 4x2k camera streams. Its pretty swish, though it took some fiddling to get the kernel to be groovy with it and do container-device passthru from PCI-e.

In total, my single NAS runs the following in containers:

Personal projects
Home Assistant
MQTT for Tasmota
Game servers
Deluge for yarr harr fiddly dee
Frigate NVR

The whole shebang, NAS, UPS, ISP Modem and Ubiquity Dream Machine run ~100W.

Are you running something like Unraid or TrueNAS, or are you just running a ‘regular’ Linux distro?

I’m doing something similar, except using Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI instead of Frigate. Works pretty well! CodeProject AI just added Coral support recently.

  How much power does just the NAS use?
  
  the NAS is the bulk of the 100W.

  Ubuntu + ZFS. I don’t see the appeal of running a non-mainline distribution. All I did was set it up so ZFS sends me emails and a crontab to run a ZFS resilver weekly.
