NAS recommendation

[Enquiries]

Hello
A bit lost here, all i need is a NAS where I will store my Bluray library and share that using SAMBA or whatever protocol KODI supports, no transcoding needed.
It would be great to host a Wireguard server.
I need to keep it stupid, simple, compact, reliable and cheap.
I'll keep reading on and learning from your website until you come across my message.
All the best and thanks again !
