RN202/RN204 stability and longevity
I have a Duo v1 and NV+ v2, both still work. The NV+ was EOL'd shortly after I purchased it, it had a short shelf life, and software updates are appearing further apart now (it seems to me). The NV+ d...
You can make your own guesses as to what may happen looking at past release history but we can't comment on what we will release in the future.
The 6.3.5 beta firmware is early access for the 100 series and 2120 which I think signals clearly our intention to bring a major update to the 100 series.
We have the 6.2.5 beta firmware for the 100 series and 2120.
The key difference between 6.2.5 and 6.3.5 is the newer kernel in 6.3.5. Some minor things are not yet working in 6.3.5 for the 100 series e.g. a backup job to a specific USB port.
I would definitely go with the 200 series over the 100 series.
BTRFS is stable and it has some great data integrity features. In my view you are far less likely to lose data using BTRFS than using EXT4 (which is what we used on older devices). Still backups are important. Don't store important data on just the one device. Note if the primary copy of data is on your PC, then the copy on the NAS is a backup. If the only copy of your data is on the NAS then that data is not backed up.
