Synology DS920+ https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS920+
They make a range of products. The DS920+ might be overkill for your use case or you might want one of their much larger and more expensive systems. I wanted a system that scales up to a few dozen Terabytes and was powerful enough to run multiple apps and a virtual machine. The reason to buy the Synology brand is because of the OS that runs on the NAS. It is Linux based but with a web-based user interface and many custom apps. The OS is rock solid, and suitable for storing a medium-sized company's business-critical data. Synology has a wide range of products so you can "get in" cheap but never outgrow the system. If all you need is basic file sharing between a few computers and you have only a couple users a small two-bay system like the 216j is good enough.
