What is the best, cheapest Kodi box for playing local content from a USB hard drive, 1080p, connected to a TV?

This is helpful, thanks. To be clear, the USB drive is an external enclosure with its own PSU. It was once hooked up to a WD TV Live, which would power the drive up and down when it was powered up and down, which was very nice, as it saved the user from having to flip the switch on the HD or leave it running it all the time. Do you know if these Kodi boxes will do this? My experience with Kodi begins and ends with using it on my (HT)PC.

It also has to work seamlessly with no Internet connection. The idea would be to load the HD with content and use the player in a remote location with no Internet.
