I checked in HWU, there's literally no overlap between the disks you can 
put into a 4486 and the ones in a 212C.

On the other hand, you should be able to use the suggested DS460C. From 
what I see, all the disks in a DS212C are also supported in the 460C...

And the offset for the extra cost would be, that you can re-use the 
IOM12 modules...
