Hi moveover1
Welcome to the Community!
It is fine to upgrade from RN102 to RN422 or other OS6 NAS models. You just need to migrate every disk in the volume and on the same bay. You can check this article. Upgrading to RN422 or higher you will also notice a signifant increase in performance.
IMO, while using SSD as storage has it's pros depending on where you will use them they also have their limitations. You might want to read what has been discussed on this post. Also, SSDs still are not fully supported or compatible with the NAS and might pose issues when not used properly AND the SSD sizes are sill not in par with the available HDDs today. One use of using SSD is the Metadata Tiering.
Hope this helps!

Note that SSD Tiering can't really be done on a 2 bay model - you need at least 4 bays, and preferably more. You want to run at least RAID-1 on the SSD tier, and at least RAID-1 on the mechanical disks.
