My Netgear access point consumes 7-8watts.
My home server, with 2*12TB drives, 2*3TB, and 1nvme, which also acts as NVR (for POE cameras), recording 24x7, and which also acts as owncloud server (and few other things) consumes 40-50watts (and it includes a 10gbps SFP+ fiber). It also includes a wireless card and acts as an access point. It also runs a few VMS, continuous integration server, pihole and other stuff.
This is not x100, it's x7 times. And the utility is much much higher.
Before, i was using amd Apu, and it consumed 20-30 watts, but did not support AES-NI, which made the disk access limited to 60MB/s :-(
It's way cheaper to run everything at home than paying for the cloud, even if u include electricity cost.
It's about $50/year for electricity (1 watt 24/7 =~ $1 per year)
