Hello guys,
I am in the process of receiving a hardware for my FreeNAS build, however I have a question regarding a ZPOOL and VDEV creation before i transfer my data to the FreeNAS. I already have a pair of 3TB WD Reds with data on it and 3x brand new 3TB WD Reds. My plan is to create a 5x 3TB RAIDZ encrypted VDEV. The problem I am facing is the lack of another storage where I save my data before creating a 5 disk RAIDZ.
It would be extremely helpful if I would be able to create an encrypted degraded VDEV so i spare a 1 disk with my data. Move the files on the degraded VDEV, and then add the disk for a silvering process of the VDEV.
I found some guides so it should be possible, but these guides are older and OS specific. Also i wish to create a encrypted VDEV which is not mentioned in these guides how to create one. But is this still doable with the latest version of FreeNAS?

I have some possibility of putting some of my data to storage's in my work but they are pretty full unfortunately and storing there 4-5TB of data wont be possible :/
Thank you for every comment!
