Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I currently use an ODROID N2+ to access a couple of drives on my network with many large 4k files. It works well and I can see all Drives on my windows PCs, but one of them is a hard drive that is connected to a media player (running OSMC) but it does not have a Gigabit port. Therefore it can be prone to stuttering over my network.
Is there a device, that can act as a network server like this, that has Gigabit connectivity and can be seen over Windows network? I'd rather it not be a miniPC running Windows / Linux as it seems a bit of a waste and high on power. Would one of the cheaper ODroid models work if I loaded CoreELEC on to it??

Budget is ideally £80 ($100)
Thanks
