Looking for recommendations - NAS for basic file shareing and HTPC

Currently have a Synology 4 bay NAS that I bought in 2012. With downloading content becoming more and more difficult over the years, I slowly without realizing started paying for streaming services and now would like to peel that back and go back to aquiring things on my own. I have that part sorted out. What I was hoping to recommendations for is the NAS part. Synology is nice, but it's overkill for what I need. I'll never use DNS, DHCP, mail server, and all the other bloatware that comes with it. I just need something for some simple network file sharing, the ability to use iSCSI perferred. Plus, cost is a factor. I can't really justify the cost of a Synology at this point. So I'm looking for some rec's. I'm tech/computer savvy - been working in IT for over 20 years. So I thought I would pose the question to this community to sort of jump start the research phase for my new little project. Thanks in advance!
