I searched for this and none of the responses seemed to cover this. I need to replace all of my hardware except the drives and I want to keep my current setup and ZFS pools, etc. Is it possible to do this? The computer is 10 years old but the drives are fairly new.
I don't know the exact version of freenas but it was updated about 3 weeks ago so it should be close to current. Hardware was showing its age, GPU is failing and already killed 3 monitors (ouch). Also needs ECC RAM and a mobo that will boot via USB (had to install freenas from a CD).
Also, if possible I would like to move the system to a new drive. The current one is a traditional SSD and is about 5 years old. I have a new NVMe drive (Corsair MP600). Can I just use a drive copier before swapping the hardware?
Thanks for any help.
