#Is network storage with rpi5 fast enough for Frigate?

I'm planning my Frigate setup and would like to understand is this a sensible approach. My main concern here is whether the network share is fast enough and responsive for Frigate.

  • HA on rpi5 with Frigate add-on, USB SSD, Hailo HAT
  • Another rpi5 as Samba server with USB HDD for Samba, USB SSD for the OS
  • 1 Gbit wired LAN
  • 5 cameras but it could grow

Any experience? Would it work just fine?

Looks like the only option to have the USB HDD locally is a bit weird setup to have Samba add-on on HA and serving through Samba locally. Would that make more sense? I would still prefer separate rpi5 as Samba if possible.

Do you already have the pi?
