Size and Type fit, but the model numbers are actually different.

This time I checked the disks, and which shelved they fit into:

X318A-R6 actually fits into the DS212C (no surprise), but neither the 
DS4486 nor the DS460C.

Technically I do not really see a problem, but who knows, the available 
firmware might have something to say about that... e.g.

  * X318__*HARHE08TA07*_ in the 212C
  * X376__*HARHE08TA07*_ in the 460C

Reflash the disks? Hmmmmmmmmm...

                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi there</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">Because of
                    space constraints I am planning to move my 3 pcs.
                    DS212C into a DS4486.</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">But I have a
                    few questions </span><span
                    style="font-family:&quot;Apple Color
                    Emoji&quot;,serif" lang="EN-US">😊</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">My existing
                    disks are X318 (8TB NL-SAS), and I think the caddies
                    for the DS4486 are also SAS, so that should
                    technically fit?</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">Does the
                    NetApp see 24 or 48 disks from the DS4486?  Because
                    I plan to reuse existing disks with aggregates on
                    them…</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I can see the
                    DS4486 use special PN as spare disks because the
                    caddy has two disks installed.  How does NetApp
                    handle the replacement when one disk of the two
                    dies?</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I know the
                    healthy disk is also copied to a spare before you
                    can replace the caddy, but do you then replace both
                    disks, or do you just replace the broken disk of the
                    two?</span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I also have
                    plans on replacing the IOM6 modules with IOM12 just
                    as you can in the DS4246 shelfs..  any issues with
                    that?</span></p>

                <p class="x_xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I know this
                    is close if not far beyond what is supported </span><span
