What is the latest model and what is its lifespan?When was it released?
Is there a new model coming out soon?
Well, the RN3138 was announced yesterday.
It's looking to me like Netgear will be upgrading their platform hardware more frequently than they did in the past. So far OS6 support continues, and the first platforms released ~2 years ago are alive and well.

Looks like new models (like RN214) can use SSDs. What is the expected throughput with SSDs vs Regular Drives? So any better performance using SSDs?
For large file transfers, RN214 or better will usually be limited by your network. For transfering lots of files, or browsing large folders, you will get faster speeds.
SSDs don't have any seek time - which is what makes the difference in a NAS (and most of the difference in a PC).
